Indeed, we believe that with our consistent and longstanding tradition of focussing on Christian values, we have addressed and will continue to address\u00a0<em>British values<\/em>. At our most recent Ofsted, in February 2020, the school was graded as\u00a0<strong>OUTSTANDING\u00a0<\/strong>in the area of Personal Development, part of which incorporates British values.<\/p><p>Our school verse and Vision are focussed on each member of our school community doing good, making a positive contribution and letting their light shine. It incorporates a celebration of\u00a0<em>difference<\/em>, in the uniqueness of each individual as created by God, and alongside this our\u00a0<em>togetherness<\/em>\u00a0in the focus on making a positive contribution both locally and globally.<\/p><p>Such an approach means that in implementing and following the recent focus on British values, the school has positive, high expectations of all members of our school community in how we interact with all people. There can be no higher encouragement &#8211; or challenge \u2013 than that in our interactions with all people we show Jesus\u2019 love. Jesus\u2019 love knew no bounds and He reached out to all people, all groups and in particular those who were considered \u2018outcasts\u2019 of the day.<\/p><p>British values are promoted in so much of what we do, not least during our daily acts of Collective Worship and in our RE lessons, and even though areas covered by British values will at times be taught discretely through our Christian ethos and values, they are woven through all that we do and as such are something we seek to live out in our day-to-day interactions.<\/p><p>As well as actively promoting British values as part of our Christian ethos, the opposite also applies: we would actively challenge children, staff or parents expressing opinions contrary to fundamental Christian and therefore British values, including \u2018extremist\u2019 views.<\/p><p><em>Below are just a few examples of how we promote British values. The first section is a general overview; the others are specific expectations set out by Ofsted.<\/em><\/p><p><strong>Being part of Britain<\/strong><\/p><p>As a school, we value and celebrate the heritages of everybody at our school. Alongside this, we value and celebrate being part of Britain. In general terms, this means that we celebrate traditions, such as customs in the course of the year; for example, Harvest festival during the Autumn term. We also value and celebrate national events, such as World Book Day, Comic Relief, Children in Need, Jubilee celebrations, the Olympics and so on.<\/p><p>Further, children learn about being part of Britain from different specific perspectives. Two specific examples of when we teach about being part of Britain are:<\/p><p><strong>Geographically<\/strong>: Our Geography units ensure that children have a better understanding of what Britain is, learning more about:<\/p><ul><li>its capital cities and counties, its rivers and mountains<\/li><li>how \u2018Great Britain\u2019 differs from \u2018England\u2019 and \u2018the United Kingdom\u2019<\/li><li>where Britain is in relation to the rest of Europe and other countries in the world<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Historically<\/strong>: Through our History based units, which include British history. During the topics, children learn about different aspects of life and how these have developed and changed over time; the topic might include inventions and discoveries, or houses, or medicine.<\/p><p><strong>Democracy<\/strong><\/p><p>Children, parents and staff have many opportunities for their voices to be heard at\u00a0Prestbury CE\u00a0Primary. Democracy is central to how we operate.<\/p><p>An obvious example is our School Council \/ House Captains \/ Head Boy and Head Girl elections. The elections reflect our British electoral system and demonstrate democracy in action: candidates make speeches, pupils consider characteristics important for an elected representative, children vote in secret. Made up of two representatives from each class, the School Council meets regularly to discuss issues raised by the different classes. The council is able to genuinely effect change within the school; in the past, the School Council has planned the playground area and led whole school initiatives on Anti-Bullying and Online Safety. The Council are actively involved in providing feedback.<\/p><p>Other examples of \u2018pupil voice\u2019 are:<\/p><ul><li>children agree their Class\u00a0Treat and the rights associated with these; all children contribute to the drawing up of the rules<\/li><li>children nominate various charities, then within their own class, select two to go forward to the School Council, who then vote to decide two school charities which we support over the course of two years<\/li><\/ul><p>Children are always listened to by adults and are taught to listen carefully and with concern to each other, respecting the right of every individual to have their opinions and voices heard. We encourage pupils to take ownership of not only their school but also of their own learning and progress. This encourages a heightened sense of both personal and social responsibility and is demonstrated on a daily basis by our pupils.<\/p><p><strong>Rules and laws<\/strong><\/p><p>The importance of rules and laws, whether they be those that govern our school or our country, are referred to and reinforced often, such as in assemblies and when reflecting on behaviour choices. At the start of the school year, each class discusses the High 5 rules, a set of principles that are clearly understood by all and seen to be necessary to ensure that every\u00a0school member is able to learn in a safe and ordered environment.<\/p><p>Children are taught the value and reasons behind laws, that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves, and the consequences when laws are broken. These values are reinforced in different ways:<\/p><ul><li>visits from authorities such as the police and fire service<\/li><li>during Religious Education, when rules for particular faiths are thought about<\/li><li>during other school subjects, where there is respect and appreciation for different rules \u2013 in a sports lesson, for example<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Individual liberty<\/strong><\/p><p>Alongside rules and laws, we promote freedom of choice and the right to respectfully express views and beliefs. Through the provision of a safe, supportive environment and empowering education, we provide boundaries for our children to make choices safely. For example:<\/p><ul><li>choices about the charity of the year and events associated with this<\/li><li>choices about how they record their learning<\/li><li>choices around the participation in extra-curricular activities<\/li><\/ul><p>Our pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and are taught how to exercise these safely.<\/p><p><strong>Mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs<\/strong><\/p><p>At Prestbury CE Primary we are proud to promote and celebrate different backgrounds and beliefs. Mutual respect is at the heart of our Vision Statement.<\/p><p>Our pupils know and understand that it is expected and imperative that respect is shown to\u00a0<em>everyone<\/em>, whatever differences we may have, and to\u00a0<em>everything<\/em>, whether it is a school resource or a religious belief. Children learn that their behaviour choices have an effect on their own rights and those of others. All members of the school community should treat each other with respect.<\/p><p>Specific examples of how we at Prestbury CE Primary enhance pupils\u2019 understanding and respect for different faiths and beliefs are:<\/p><ul><li>through Religious Education and other lessons where we might develop awareness and appreciation of other cultures \u2013 in English through fiction and in Art by considering culture from other parts of the world, for example<\/li><li>enjoying a depth of study during Themed Weeks, where sometimes we will celebrate and enjoy learning about the differences in countries and cultures around the word (whilst at other times we might consider groups or individuals who might be vulnerable in some way, such as those with mental health issues)<\/li><\/ul><p>Sadly, no school can guarantee that there will never be instances which are contrary to this value. At Prestbury CE Primary, such instances are extremely rare. They are treated seriously, in line with our Behaviour and Anti-Bullying policies.<\/p><p>For those who would like to read about the reasoning behind the focus by the Government\/Ofsted on British values, please see the link below:<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/guidance-on-promoting-british-values-in-schools-published\">http:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/guidance-on-promoting-british-values-in-schools-published<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>School Vision and Values Vision The school vision seeks to focus on developing the spiritual life of all in our community, encouraging all in valuing others, and making a positive difference to others.
