Swipe contentAt our school, we value the diverse backgrounds of all pupils, staff and families and undertake a variety of events and lessons to celebrate these throughout the year. We teach our children to be tolerant and respectful towards others, embracing the differences in our community and the wider world. Within this, we recognise the importance of promoting fundamental ‘British Values’ as part of our school’s programme of spiritual, moral, cultural and social development.
These include the values of:
Democracy
The Rule of Law
Individual Liberty
Mutual Respect
Promoting these British Values is now a central part of teaching and learning. By doing this, we aim to help children become well-rounded members of the society. These British Values are promoted throughout the curriculum, across the whole school. They are also seen in the school ethos and policies, assemblies, special events and cultural celebrations.
The Willow Foundation
Our School Council raised £1019.45 through their Dragon's Apprentice Challenge. The Willow Foundation came to speak to us about the amazing work they do. They told us about the special days that they provide for young adults who are very ill. Our School Council presented them with the £1019.45 donation in this assembly. |
NSPCC
The NSPCC came to speak to us. They told us about what is right and what is wrong. We learnt about what we should do if we know something isn't right. We learnt about how to respect ourselves and others. |
Paralympic Roadshow
Each class had the opportunity to try out some Paralympic Sports with the Herts Disability Sports Foundation. The sports were Wheelchair Basketball, Curling, Boccia, Sitting Volleyball and Handball. |
Junk Drumming
Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 had a Junk Drumming Workshop with Fab Drumming. They used Recycled materials as instruments. We were learning about respecting our environment.
|
Judaism Workshops
Every year group had a workshop with Ruth from Judaism for Schools. We were learning about respecting other religions. The workshops were very interesting. Each year group had a different theme. Such as The Torah, Passover, Holocaust (Year 6), Journey around a Jewish home, Hanukkah and Shabbat.
