Promoting Fundamental British Values.


The Department for Education introduced a statutory duty for schools to promote British values more actively from September 2014, and to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.


The Key Values are:

  • Democracy;
  • Rule of law;
  • Individual liberty;
  • Mutual respect;
  • Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs;
  • Positive contributions to life in Modern Britain.


At Holgate Primary School, we actively promote British values through:

  • Focusing on and showing how the school’s work is effective in securing these values;
  • Challenging pupils, staff or parents who express opinions contrary to British values;
  • Create opportunities throughout the academic year to actively learn and celebrate different values.
