Having reviewed this requirement with the staff, it rapidly became clear that ‘British’ values have always been an important part of St Mary’s ethos and that they are enshrined in both the school’s Mission Statement: We would like to be recognised by the quality and depth of respect and love, which we show towards each other. Mutual respect and tolerance are central to our way of life at St Mary’s, as we meet Jesus Christ in each other. and the School Creed: School Creed This is our school, Let peace dwell here. Let the school be full of contentment. Let love abide here, Love of our school, Love of one another, Love of mankind, Love of life itself And love of God. Let us remember, That as many hands built our school, So many hearts make our school. Amen Children have regular opportunities to reflect on these qualities and how we demonstrate them in our day-to-day interactions with each other; the displays in the main hall of what the School Creed means to us has been an important visual reminder of our values for the last year. The government defines British Values as being: Democracy The importance of us all having the right to have our views considered and valued is embedded in this school and is enshrined in school policies. Pupils have opportunities to share their views and to influence decisions through the School Council and election of members is based solely on pupils’ votes, reflecting the British electoral system. The Rule of Law Children determine their own ‘class rules’ at the beginning of the year and they understand that school rules exist to keep them safe and to ensure that the school is calm and ordered. When rules are broken, staff take time to discuss with pupils the impact of their actions and how they can seek to make amends. They understand that with freedom, comes responsibility. Individual Liberty Through the curriculum children are encouraged to make choices within a supportive environment. They are helped to make these choices safely through our PSHCE and e-safety teaching. Mutual Respect From their earliest days in school, children are taught to apply the gospel value of ‘Love one another as I have loved you’ in their interactions with each other. Visitors to the school unfailingly comment on the calm, well-ordered environment in St Mary’s and on how well our children behave. Children fully understand that they are not yet saints and that there will be mistakes along the way, but that God’s love must be reflected in each and every one of us. Tolerance of those with Different Faiths and Beliefs As a Catholic school, we recognise the importance of teaching our children about the fundamental beliefs and traditions of other faiths and this is built into our Religious Education syllabus. Children leave St Mary’s having been taught about the major world faiths and understand their similarities to and differences from Christianity. We are a school with families from many parts of the world and many of us would question whether the values above are uniquely ‘British’; as a Catholic community we follow God’s path and strive to live as Jesus taught us.
