Recognising right and wrong; understanding choices and consequences; respecting the law and understanding the consequences of breaking the law; investigating moral and ethical issues; offering a reasoned viewpoint.

Students will consider:

1. What is the difference between right and wrong?
2. What are the consequences of my actions?
3. How might someone support your viewpoint? How might someone argue against it?

Using a range of social skills appropriately in different contexts; appreciating diverse viewpoints; showing tolerance of the views of others; resolving conflict; engaging with British values (democracy, the rule of law, liberty, respect and tolerance).

At Â鶹ŮÀÉ, students are taught how to work together effectively with different ages, genders, races and religions. Students have the opportunity to develop their school community and contribute in their local community which ensures that when they leave school they can engage with society’s institutions and form successful relationships with others. We support students’ social development in a number of ways:

Student leaders programme

Prevent and mental health workshops

Duke of Edinburgh Award

Curriculum for Life Programme

Students will consider:

1. Why are there different viewpoints on this issue?
2. How could this issue be resolved peacefully?
3. Does this promote British values?

Appreciating cultural influences; understanding the role of Britain’s parliamentary system; participating in cultural opportunities; understand, accept, respect and celebrate diversity.

Students will consider:

1. How has this influenced British values and culture?
2. How has this event shaped people locally, nationally and internationally?
3. Is this a significant issue in modern Britain?

At Â鶹ŮÀÉ, we promote fundamental British values in a number of ways:

Our school curriculum and tutor time activities ensure that knowledge around democracy, law and different governments is gained.

We hold regular student voice across all year groups on a variety of important matters including curriculum, extracurricular, healthy eating and wellbeing. Student ambassadors work alongside staff to ensure different points of view are listened to.

We hold mock elections and votes on schoolwide issues. Debate is encouraged in all curriculum areas through our Trinity Talks initiative and our Debating club.

Our RS and PSHE provision ensures an understanding of different faiths and respect for this. Our Collective Worship and assembly calendar also ensure that different religious festivals are taught at different points in the year.

Our INVOLVE programme includes a plethora of extracurricular activities with student led clubs such as Next Gen leaders.

As a result of this work, we expect our students to have:

An understanding of how they as citizens, in our academy and in their local community, can bring about influence through a democratic process.

An understanding regarding the rule of law and how it aims to protect individuals and the need for it to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all.

An understanding of the freedom of choice, particularly related to choice regarding faith and beliefs, and how these choices are protected in law.

An acceptance of others who hold differing beliefs, faiths and opinions and that tolerance is required, and how discriminatory or prejudicial behaviour is against the values and ethos of this academy but also is against the law.

An understanding of the importance of identifying discriminatory behaviours and actions and also understanding that action needs to be taken to combat such behaviours.
