British Values

We fully support and teach the British Values of:

Mutual Respect and Tolerance of Those with Different Faiths and Beliefs

Mutual respect is at the heart of our school. Children learn that their behaviour have an effect on their own rights and those of others. All members of the school community are entitled to be treated with respect. We want the children at Montalbo to be global citizens and give them the knowledge, skills and understanding of concepts and institutions necessary to become informed, active and responsible citizens.

We want them to realise that similar situations and issues appear in schools around the world. We expect children to understand how they need to take responsibility for their learning and together we can make a difference but the actions of one person can change things for many. We want children to have informed opinions.

We also believe children will only have mutual respect and tolerance of others if they have in themselves and their community. We encourage pride through

  • Celebration assemblies
  • Each child is a member of a house team and works to get points for their house
  • Involvement in community events within Barnard Castle
  • Hosting community events
  • Developing a community garden
  • Celebrating key national events such as Remembrance Sunday, Commonwealth Games, Royal Weddings etc.

Rule of Law

The importance of having laws is stressed every day at school so that our school is a calm and safe place to be. Pupils are taught the values and reasons behind laws, that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves and the consequences when laws are broken. These are some of the ways that this is implemented within school.

  • Consistent behaviour system
  • Rewards
  • Classroom rules
  • Celebration assembly
  • Meetings with parents
  • Working closely with our PCSO

Democracy

  • School council elections
  • School ethos treating everyone the same linked to behaviour system.
  • Giving children a voice e.g. garden developments
  • Pupil questionnaire seeking their views
  • Opportunities to create questions to explore in different subjects

Liberty

Within school, pupils are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. As a school we educate and provide boundaries for children to make choices safely through the provision of a safe environment and a rich creative education. Some examples are as follows:

  • Behaviour systems
  • Differentiation within lessons
  • Wide choice of extracurricular clubs to pursue interests
  • Values promoted through curriculum
  • School educational visits

We have built into the curriculum opportunities to allow children to start to pursue and explore individual interests.
