Promoting British Values
The Department for Education has published guidance on promoting British values in schools to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain.
The guidance aims to help schools understand their responsibilities in this area. All have a duty to ‘actively 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. These values were first set out by the government in the ‘Prevent’ strategy in 2011.
In line with the 2011 Prevent Strategy, Garland Junior School actively promotes British values. The document below shows how we do this in our setting.
