British values across the curriculum

The British Values of democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs are integrated across both the curriculum and co-curriculum at The Royal.

British Values are implicit in Junior School assemblies (see assembly log) and Senior School chapel services. At different points throughout the year religious festivals and topics that are current in the news are incorporated in a thoughtful way catering for the diverse range of cultures and religions present across the school.

Below is a brief outline of where our curriculum covers these fundamental British Values.

way for pupils to be involved in the decision-making processes across the curriculum.

EYFSBritish Values from the EYFS perspective is very much cross curricular, however, there is a focus equally at different times of the year with regard to festivals/celebrations when activities will be planned to help children understand cultural differences. Respect, “rules” of the school/classroom and so forth are on-going. Within the curriculum, PSE has an aspect of “Managing Feeling and Behaviour”, and within Understanding the World, “People and Communities”. Therefore, activities are planned around the chosen topic for the half term.
