British Values (SMSC)

At Scartho Infants’ School and Nursery, British Values are embedded throughout the broad and balanced curriculum that we teach.

Democracy

We respect and listen to each other's views and support each other in improving our work. 

Pupils input into each term’s projects to reflect their interests.

We celebrate democracy through informed choices within the classroom.

We celebrate the armed forces who act within the law to uphold democracy e.g. Remembrance.

Rule of Law

We have clear school and classroom rules and are rewarded through Class Dojo.

We have strong links with our Community Police Officers.

We operate a policy of choice with consequences, which teaches responsibility.

Individual Liberty

We celebrate individual responsible choices in classrooms.

Achievement assemblies celebrate academic and pastoral success in school and from home.

We give children choices about lunch menus and after school clubs.

Mutual Respect

We promote the ethos of mutual respect through our principles of learning.

We provide opportunities for pupils to develop their understanding, appreciation and respect for difference in the world and its people.

We encourage pupils to engage with views, belief and opinions that are different from their own in considered ways.

We actively celebrate the diversity of our community through our curriculum projects, visitors, class reflection, display and specific focused activities.

We encourage good manners and treating others as they would wish to be treated.

We understand that, whatever our age, we are always striving to improve and better ourselves.

We support charity events relevant to our school community (Samaritan’s Purse, Jeans for Genes, Children in Need, Comic Relief, Women's Refuge, McMillan Cancer Support).

We actively welcome visitors to our school who broaden our experiences .

Respect for other Faiths

We have a balanced approach to RE following the locally agreed syllabus.

We learn about faiths within that syllabus.

We have assemblies that are broadly Christian and also discuss real life issues which the children experience.

We celebrate other religions through inclusion in assemblies and class sharing of experiences.
