At Giffard Park we prepare children for life in modern Britain by upholding and teaching pupils about ‘British Values’, which are defined by the government as:
- democracy
- rule of law
- individual liberty
- mutual respect
- tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
These values are taught explicitly through Personal, Social, Health and Emotional (PSHE), Spiritual, Moral, Social & Cultural Education (SMSC) and Religious Education (RE). We also teach British Values within our broad and balanced curriculum, ensuring that our curriculum planning and delivery includes real opportunities for exploring these values.
The school takes opportunities to actively promote British Values through our whole school systems and structures and through our daily assemblies/acts of collective worship.
Actively promoting British Values also means challenging pupils, staff or parents/carers expressing opinions contrary to fundamental British Values, including ‘extremist’ views.
