British Values (SMSC)
At Scartho Infants’ School and Nursery we promote British Values through the following provision.
Democracy
We elect a School Council
Pupils input each term’s topic 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 rules
We have classroom rules set by the children
We operate a policy of choice with consequence, which teaches responsibility
Individual Liberty
We celebrate individual responsible choices in classrooms
We give children choices about lunch menus and after school clubs
Achievement assemblies celebrate academic and pastoral success in school and from home
Mutual Respect
We promote the ethos of mutual respect through our core values
We encourage good manners and children are to treat others as they would wish to be treated
We support charity events relevant to our school community (Samaritan’s Purse, Wear a Hat Day – Brain Tumour research, War Child, Daily Bread Larder, McMillan Cancer Support)
We encourage visitors to our school who can broaden the experiences for the children
Respect for other Faiths
We have a balanced approach to RE following the locally agreed syllabus
Children 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 relevant inclusion in assemblies and class sharing of experiences.
