NEWS GALLERY CONTACT US HOME POLICIES INFORMATION STAFF GOVERNORS SCHOOL DAY EXTENDED DAY PARENTS & CARERS British Values Our promotion of British values in our school The government set out their definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy. These were reinforced in Sept 2014 due to recent events. These new regulations will sit alongside the requirements of the Equalities Act, which also applies to all types of school. Schools will be expected to focus on, and be able to show, how our work with pupils is effective in embedding fundamental British values. Promoting British values at Brompton Hall School We agree with the Department for Education’s five-part definition of British values: democracy the rule of law individual liberty mutual respect tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs At Brompton Hall students will encounter these principles throughout everyday school life. The curriculum is mapped in detail across the whole school. Listed below are some examples of how we promote these values in our school community: Democracy Pupil voice is significant in regards to life at Brompton Hall. Our pupil elected school council plays a strong role in our school. They are elected by their unit peers and are involved in making the school a better place to live and learn. Pupils have a great amount of input in regards to what and how they learn, which promotes pupil voice. Pupil questionnaires and interviews are also conducted throughout the year. We know that the formation of the school council and the active participation of our pupils will sow the seeds for a more sophisticated understanding of democracy in the future. The Rule of Law Our pupils will encounter rules and laws throughout their entire lives. We want our pupils to understand that whether these laws govern the class, the units, the school, the neighbourhood or the country, they are set for good reasons and must be adhered to. This understanding of the importance of rules will be consistently reinforced through assemblies and our curriculum. The involvement of our pupils in the creation of the school rules helps them to understand the reasons behind the rules and the consequences if they are broken. Through philosophical enquiry in our philosophy for learning lessons, we allow opportunity to debate and discuss the reasons for laws so that children can recognise the importance of these for their own protection. Throughout the year we welcome visits from members of the wider community including police, veterans, the fire brigade and many more. We believe that clear explanations and real life stories emphasise the importance of the rule of law for our pupils. Individual Liberty We invest a great deal of time in creating a positive culture in our school, so that children are in a safe environment where choices and freedoms are encouraged. We offer a range of clubs which pupils have the freedom to choose from, based on their interests. Through our e-Safety, philosophy for learning, PSHE / RE / Citizenship session, unit activities and Assembly programme, we educate children on their rights and personal freedoms as well as supporting them in recognising how to exercise these freedoms safely. At Brompton Hall we believe that valuing choice and freedom in daily school life will foster a value for individual liberty as the children embark upon their adult lives. Mutual respect Mutual respect is at the core of our school life. Students learn to treat each other and staff with great respect. This is evident when walking around Brompton Hall, as well as in the units and classrooms. Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs At Brompton Hall we offer a culturally rich and diverse curriculum in which all major religions are studied and respected. We strongly believe that tolerance is gained through knowledge and understanding. Through our curriculum and the routines of our daily school life, we strive to demonstrate tolerance and help children to become knowledgeable and understanding citizens who can build a better Britain for the future.
