British Values
Promoting British values through our ethos, the curriculum, our personal, social, emotional and cultural development, and through our Church of England Religious Education curriculum.
Reinforcing values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance.
The DfE have reinforced the need “to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.”
Department for Education
The Government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy and these were reiterated in 2014.
At The Whitchurch C of E Federation we reinforce and promote British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance in the following ways:
Democracy
Individual Liberty
Rule of Law

OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILDREN
It is important that children feel part of the Academy community and that their opinions and ideas are valued.
Children have many opportunities for their voices to be heard and there are a number of varied roles such as Playground Leaders, School Council, Pupil Parliament, House Captains. Pupil’s voices are heard through regular meetings. The elected pupils discuss issues and suggest ways to improve the life of the Federation and how we can contribute to the local community.
Children discuss and decide which charities and fundraisers the school should support for the year, and coordinate with the organisation of these events.
Within our Academy, pupils are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. As an academy we educate and provide boundaries for children to make choices safely. There is also a wide range of children who have Buddy duties within school. Through our curricular clubs and opportunities, children are given the freedom to make choices.
Our Academy ethos outlines our determination to prepare children for the ‘wider community’. As a school we educate and provide boundaries for young pupils to make choices safely, through provision of a safe environment and empowering education. Pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and advised as to how to exercise these safely, for example through our E-Safety and PSHE lessons. Whether it be through choice of learning challenge, of how they record, of participation in our numerous extra-curricular clubs and opportunities, pupils are given the freedom to make choices.
The importance of laws, whether they be those that govern the class, the academy, or the country, are consistently reinforced throughout our academy days, as well as when dealing with behaviour and through school assemblies.
Pupils are taught the value and reasons behind laws, that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves and the consequences when laws are broken. Visits from authorities such as the Search and Rescue, NSPCC, Police and Fire Service help reinforce this message. Circle time and PSHE is used as an opportunity to discuss difficult situations that benefit from whole class discussion. Keeping safe when using the internet is regularly discussed with children in computing lessons and in assemblies.
Knowing, understanding and following our school rules is essential for our academy to be a safe learning environment. Assemblies, Worship and PSHE times are delivered with a focus on the law e.g. safety Awareness and E-Safety awareness. Parent workshops are offered to support parents on the law around E-Safety.
Pupils know and understand that it is expected that respect is shown to everyone, whatever differences we may have. Children learn that their behaviour choices have an effect on their own rights and those of others. All members of the school community should treat each other with respect.
Our R.E curriculum provides a broad and balanced education on a range of faiths, religions and cultures. At The Whitchurch Church of England Academy Christian values are at the core of our community and is embraced through our teachings.
Assemblies are regularly planned to address this issue either directly or through the inclusion of stories and celebrations from a variety of faiths and cultures. Our PSHE Programme is delivered through a cross curricular approach.
Members of different faiths or religions are encouraged to share their knowledge to enhance learning within classes and the school.
We believe our academy to be at the centre of our local community; our vision and values are embodied in celebrations and events such as inter-generational work, the school fair, our charitable work and participation in various sporting, academic and artistic endeavours.
Democracy
Vladavina zakona
Važnost zakona, bilo da su oni koji upravljaju razredom, školom ili državom, neprekidno se pojačava
Engleska, Whitchurch Church of England.
Kroz našu jasnu i pozitivnu politiku ponašanja razvijamo razumijevanje kod djece o važnosti slijeđenja pravila; da čuvaju nas i one oko nas. Dječja samoregulacija i razumijevanje da njihovo ponašanje utječe na druge i može imati posljedice također je presudan dio učenja širom naše Federacije.
U
Djeci dajemo puno malih uloga s odgovornošću kroz Federaciju, na primjer, razred VIP, mlađi bibliotekari, vođe obožavanja i to im pomaže da osjećaju ponos i samopoštovanje; što pojačava razumijevanje onoga što je „ispravno učiniti“.
Posete partnera iz zajednice kao što su policija i vatrogasna služba takođe pomažu da se naša deca razviju razumevanje uloga u društvu.
Rule of Law
Individual Liberty
U engleskoj federaciji Whitchurch Church, djeca dobivaju slobodu izbora, znajući da su u sigurnom i potpornom okruženju.
Učenici se ohrabruju da znaju, razumiju i ostvaruju svoja prava i lične slobode i savetuje se kako ih bezbedno ostvariti, na primer kroz naše lekcije o e-sigurnosti i PSHE.
Djeca uče granice i kako preuzimati 'sigurne rizike' kroz naš kurikulum učenja na otvorenom.
Podržavaju se u razvoju samospoznaje, samopouzdanja i otpornosti na nošenje sa zaostacima.
Nastavni plan i program RE, kolektivnog bogosluženja i PSHE pojačavaju mogućnosti za istraživanje stavova i mišljenja.
Individual Liberty
Uzajamno poštovanje i tolerancija drugih
Federacija ima vrlo jak inkluzivni etos brige i poštovanja razvijen oko izričite posvećenosti kršćanskim vrijednostima. Samopoštovanje i poštovanje drugih čine srž dijela našeg sistema vrijednosti.
Prepoznajemo da, iako naša Federacija ima kršćanske temelje, neka naša djeca potječu iz širokog područja, uključujući djecu iz drugih vjerskih zajednica. Cilj Federacije je pružiti djeci atmosferu, praksu i obrazovanje u kojima će se razvijati njihov duhovni život i iskustvo.
Pokloni „Poštovanja, dobrote, iskrenosti, povjerenja i mira“ vrijednosti su kojima se nadamo i kojima težimo, a koje će naša djeca njegovati tijekom svog boravka u našoj akademiji za dojenčad. Dok naša djeca nastavljaju svoje učenje kroz našu mlađu akademiju, mi se fokusiramo na dodatne vrijednosti „Hrabrosti, odgovornosti, kreativnosti, ustrajnosti i suosjećanja“.
Svi članovi školske zajednice međusobno se odnose s poštovanjem. Kroz naš nastavni plan i program za vjersko obrazovanje promičemo toleranciju i razumijevanje niza vjera, religija i kultura. Kao crkvena škola promoviramo ovu toleranciju i razumijevanje kroz naše kršćanske vrijednosti i svakodnevna djela kolektivnog obožavanja. 'Talk Partners' razvijaju sposobnost naše djece da aktivno slušaju ideje i mišljenja drugih. Djeca razvijaju fair play kroz naš nastavni program za tjelesno i dobro.
