British Values in Our School
Click the link below to access our British Values Assembly May 2026:
We are totally committed to promoting British Values in our school and this is enshrined in our Vision Statement that states our pupils should grow up to play a vital role in the ever changing world in which they will live and have their being. Our school has a proud tradition of welcoming children from other faiths and ethnic backgrounds and we see this as a great strength of the school. As a school we embody what it is to be British; to show tolerance, understanding and good social, moral and cultural understanding of all members of our local, national and global society of which we are all a vital part. We believe that as a Catholic school we should do all of this in a Christ-centred and child-centred way and alongside our virtues and Catholic Social Teaching Principles.
Prevent
Prevent sits alongside long-established safeguarding duties on professionals to protect people from a range of other harms such as substance abuse, involvement in gangs and physical and sexual exploitation.
Prevent is one part of the government's overall counter-terrorism strategy. The aim of Prevent is to:
- tackle the ideological causes of terrorism
- intervene early to support people susceptible to radicalisation
- enable people who have already engaged in terrorism to disengage and rehabilitate
All staff at school take part in Prevent training.
During the training, staff learn about:
- the Prevent duty
- different extremist ideologies that can lead to terrorism
- the risk around radicalisation and your supportive role
- making a Prevent referral that is both informed and made with good intention
- the interventions and support available
Please see the Government's guidance for further information about the Prevent duty here.
