British Values

British values are threaded through everything we do at Rosedale C of E Infant School, enabling our children to feel safe, valued and to support themselves and each other.

The values are as follows:

• Democracy
• The rule of law
• Individual liberty
• Mutual respect
• Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs

When these values are embedded pupils are expected to gain understanding and knowledge of issues such as:

• An understanding that the freedom to hold other faiths and beliefs is protected in law.
• An acceptance that people having different faiths or beliefs to oneself (or having none) should be accepted and tolerated, and should not be the cause of prejudicial or discriminatory behaviour.
• An understanding of the importance of identifying and combating discrimination.
• An appreciation that living under the rule of law protects individual citizens and is essential for their well being and safety.
• An understanding of how citizens can influence decision-making through the democratic process.
