British Values

At Holy Trinity Primary we want our children to understand what it is to be a good citizen, to have a thorough understanding of freedom, equality, and fairness. We aim for all children to leave Holy Trinity well prepared for secondary school, the next stage in their education and for life in modern Britain. The core British values of democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs are embedded within our curriculum. These values are also  linked to our school values:

 

  • Friendship
  • Courage
  • Respect
  • Hope 
  • Trust
  • Thankfulness

 

 

Our school values are promoted through all areas of school life; they are modelled by staff and reflected in displays throughout the school. The school’s reward system is based on the promotion of these values, praising children when they demonstrate one of the values through their approach to learning, behaviour around school and how they treat members of the school community and wider community. Pupils also learn about the values through Collective Worship, class PSHE lessons, Religious Education and through discrete teaching sessions.

 

At Holy Trinity  Primary we promote the development of self-confidence, self-worth and a sense of identity. We give pupils lots of opportunities to reflect on and discuss different lifestyles as well as encouraging them to ask questions, to challenge inappropriate and harmful ideologies, and to stand up for what they believe is right. Children are actively encouraged to make choices knowing they are in a safe and supportive environment.

Children have the opportunity to be involved in the importance of law  each year when they join their new classes by agreeing and establishing their class charters and understanding the importance of following the rules, being involved in the School Council, Collective Worship Council and Mini Police.

Living our British Values

At Holy Trinity we try and live the British values every day.

We ensure that all children have opportunities to vote for Prefects, the next book to read in class and for the whole school to share on World Book Day. Children's ideas are listened to at School Council meetings.

 

Behaviour Ambassadors have conducted surveys about our favourite music. Mrs Kaynes has sent us all out a survey about our favourite authors to help restock the school and our class libraries.

 

We learn about other faiths and their festivals and invite in visitors to help enrich our RE curriculum.
