The British Values are intrinsic to the Broadoak community and underpin our ethos, promoted in every aspect of school life. The school community meet collectively for weekly assemblies to present ideas of respect, law, democracy and individual liberty. Hot topics, moral issues and celebrations of Britishness create a catalogue of assemblies to educate, enlighten and encourage pupils to be the best members of British society that they can be. Pupils throughout their school life also participate in a full pastoral program of activities to develop their attitudes to personal responsibility. Special events such as our annual ‘British Values Week’ for Year 7 in the lead up to St George’s Day provide an opportunity to raise awareness of the British Values themes to our new intake whilst celebrating all that is great about Great Britain.

Year 8 follow a more Citizenship focused program of study with Rights and Responsibilities, Democracy and Justice, Diversity and Self-Development, each will explicit links to the British Values. Year 9 concentrate on Sex and Relationship but even so, individual liberty, respect and tolerance, and rule of law all feature in the curriculum. Issues of exploitation, FGM and the safe use of social media are all covered whilst promoting healthy and respectful relationships. In a separate lesson to PSHCEE, pupils also receive a 50 minute session for RE where their spirituality is encouraged, their understanding and tolerance of others is informed and pupils can explore the range of faiths, beliefs and identities within a multicultural Britain. Beyond the PSHCEE and RE lessons on the curriculum, all subjects in both KS3 and KS4 contribute to the teaching and practice of British Values; Whether it’s the Rule of Law taught in English whilst debating Capital Punishment; British democratic voting systems in Maths; or Individual Liberty central to the teaching of The Holocaust in History; Broadoak celebrates our British Values proudly. The whole school curriculum is audited annually to ensure that all pupils throughout Years 7 to 11 understand all four British Values and what it means to be a Broadoak pupil in Britain.
