Intent 
In accordance with The Department for Education we aim to actively promote the Fundamental British Values in school to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain.
Children are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.
The Key Values are:
• Democracy
• Rule of Law
• Individual Liberty
• Mutual Respect and Tolerance of Different Faiths or Beliefs
 

At Queensway Primary School Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) development is evident throughout our curriculum.

 

Implementation

We 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. We implement this by:

Democracy â€“ Children, parents and staff have the right to have their voices heard. We have a school council made up of pupil-elected class representatives. Within the school council meetings, children raise issues and suggest ideas for improvement both within in school as well as in the wider school community.

The Rule of Law – We strive to meet school expectations in everything we do and these are reinforced throughout school in order to teach children to take responsibility for their own actions. Children are taught the reasons behind rules and laws, how they govern and protect us and the consequences of what happens when rules are broken. 

Individual Liberty – Alongside rules and laws, we promote freedom of choice and the right to respectfully express views and beliefs. Through the provision of a safe, supportive environment and empowering education, we provide boundaries for our young pupils to make choices safely.

Mutual Respect and Tolerance of Different Faiths or Beliefs –   Children are taught to show empathy and understanding of people from different backgrounds. They are given regular opportunities to learn about different cultures and beliefs to reinforces messages of tolerance and respect. This allows children to understand and respect values different to their own.  All members of the school community treat each other with respect, a Queensway Quality, and this is modelled by staff. 

 

Through our weekly Picture News Assembly, we develop pupils understanding of current affairs and allow children to let their voices be heard and respect others' opinions. Have a look at some of the questions we have been considering below:

Impact

The impact of British Values and SMSC teaching at Queensway Primary School:
  • Children are better aware of social media; how to be safe, utilise this productively and make good choices.
  • Children will have had opportunities to fail, as well as discuss why failure is important, so that they are more resilient to failure and view this as a positive.
  • Children will collaborate critically, creatively and with a caring approach.
  • Children are better able to reflect upon their behaviour and evaluate what makes for good behaviour and what a good learner should look like; this will allow better assessment of ‘bad choices’ and how to learn from these.
  • Less children with low self-esteem and better equipped to be resilient within a modern society.
  • Our children will be happy, as well as encouraging of others in and out of the classroom.

Children leave the school with a sense of belonging to a tightly knit community where they have the confidence and skills to make decisions, self-evaluate, make connections and become lifelong learner.
