British Values
At Leconfield Primary School we value the diversity of backgrounds of all pupils, families and the wider school community.
The Department for Education defines British Values as follows:
- democracy
- the rule of law
- individual liberty
- respect
- tolerance
At Leconfield Primary School we ensure these values are firmly embedded in our school culture and are reinforced regularly.
We are:
Respectful – everyone is valued and has a place in our community. We provide a friendly and inclusive environment where quality relationships are important. We value and respect individuals.
Open Minded – our minds are always open to new experiences and we prepare children for the challenges and opportunities of adulthood in a changing world
Curious – we encourage and enable everyone to experience success and help our children to develop lively, enquiring, imaginative and creative minds through our broad and exciting curriculum
Kind – we are kind to others, ourselves and our surroundings. We are respectful of everyone. We take responsibility for our role in the world around us
In conclusion…We ROCK!
