Promoting British Values

The DfE have recently reinforced the need to "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 were reiterated in 2014.

Can you name all five?

British Values are taught through the school curriculum in a number of ways.

Examples are:

• Debates about the advantages and disadvantages of democracy
  Lesson and assemblies about how Democracy works in Britain
  Giving pupil a voice e.g School Parliament
  Mock elections for school Parliament and General Elections
  Teaching about a range of faiths in a positive and sensitive manner
  Respecting and promoting remembrance day for WW1 and WW2
  Teaching British History
  Supporting and donating to charities such as food banks and children in need
  Celebrating the Royal Family
  Teaching about Key People in our History
