British Values

At Kilburn Grange School, we recognise the importance of preparing children for life in modern Britain and promoting values that are an integral part of 21st century British society. The core British values are:

• democracy
• rule of law
• individual liberty
• mutual respect
• tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.

These values are promoted and reinforced in school in a number of ways:

• We establish a strong school ethos supported by effective relationships throughout the school
• We encourage staff, children, parents and visitors to our school to show respect, kindness and consideration to all
• We learn with and from one another, creating a school environment that nurtures the whole child and enables each one of them to realise their full potential.

We recognise the multi-cultural, multi-faith and ever-changing nature of the United Kingdom and understand the role we have in ensuring that it upholds and promotes fundamental British values. We follow the policies outlined by out trust, BPET, regarding equal opportunities which guarantee that there will be no discrimination against any individual or group regardless of faith, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, political or financial status or similar.

Generosity & Responsibility

Each half-term we choose a value to focus on and highlight key festivals, events and memorable dates which are marked during whole-school and in-class assemblies. We also identify a key charity each term as we believe that children taking part in charitable events can learn about responsibility, generosity, helping others, making positive changes to their local community whilst being aware of national and global issues.

Additionally, we provide weekly Skills for Life lessons (Personal, Social, Health and Economic education and Relationships and Health education) through the 1Decision scheme of work. We teach fortnightly Religious Education lessons and Picture News sessions to discuss the local, national and global current events happening at that time.
