British Values
Promoting British Values at Upperthong J&I School, Holmfirth
The DfE have recently reinforced the need “to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs."
The government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy, and these values have been reiterated by the Prime Minister this year.
At Upperthong we work hard to ensure that these values are: reinforced regularly, evident in all aspects of school life and well embedded in the curriculum. The statement below shows how we do this.
