The DfE have recently 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.”
The Government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy, and these values have been reiterated in 2014.
The British values are:-
- Democracy
- The Rule of Law
- Individual Liberty
- Mutual Respect
- Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
At Truro learning Academy, these values are reinforced regularly. The document below gives a brief overview of how being British is celebrated at Truro Learning Academy through the curriculum it delivers and the wider democratic approach the school adopts towards ‘Pupil Voice’ through the school council.
