Promoting British Values

Value	How we promote it at Tritlington
Democracy	We have an elected school council. This is used as an opportunity to promote and teach about democracy and the electoral process.
	All pupils in the school take part in an annual questionnaire to find out how they think we can improve the school. Pupils’ ideas are included in the annual School Improvement Plan.
	We encourage our pupils to volunteer in and out of school. This includes being play leaders, and also raising money for local and national charities.
	Democracy is also promoted through additional PSHE lessons and assemblies.
	High profile figures such as Nelson Mandela and Malala Yousafzai are discussed in assemblies.
	Inviting County, Town Councillors, MPs and other locally elected speakers or representatives of local community organisations to the school.
The Rule of Law	We have high expectations about pupil conduct and this is reflected in our Behaviour Policy.
	The school Behaviour Policy is regularly reviewed and explained to all.
	Assemblies focus on our Christian values.
	Through our school assemblies, circle time and PSHE, pupils are taught how to earn trust and respect and are supported to develop a strong sense of morality; knowing right from wrong and doing the right think even when it’s difficult.

	Within classroom teaching there are many opportunities for pupils to learn from and listen to each other.
