British Values for Life

British Values at Plantation Primary School 

At Plantation Primary School, our school values are at the heart of everything we do. Alongside these, we actively promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs, including those with no faith. 

We are committed to ensuring that all pupils leave our school well prepared for life in modern Britain as respectful, responsible, and confident members of society. These values are embedded throughout our curriculum and school life through activities such as School Council elections, assemblies, class discussions, PSHE lessons, and wider enrichment opportunities. 

Through carefully planned lessons and assemblies, children learn about: 

• respecting similarities and celebrating differences  

• challenging stereotypes  

• understanding discrimination and why it is wrong  

• valuing equality, tolerance, and mutual respect  

• developing the confidence to use their voice and stand up against unfairness  

At Plantation Primary School, we teach British values to help our children: 

• Develop self-knowledge, self-esteem and self-confidence  

• Recognise the difference between right and wrong and understand the importance of respecting the law  

• Take responsibility for their actions, show initiative, and contribute positively to school and the wider community  

• Develop an understanding of public institutions and services in England  

• Appreciate and respect different cultures, traditions and beliefs  

• Show respect and consideration for others  

• Understand democracy and participate in democratic processes, recognising how laws are made and applied  

By promoting British values, Plantation Primary School aims to nurture children who are thoughtful, inclusive, and ready to make a positive contribution to their community and the wider world.
