At Christ the King, we actively promote British Values to ensure that pupils develop into responsible, respectful and active citizens who are prepared for life in modern Britain.
British Values are embedded throughout our curriculum, celebrations of the word, school mission and wider school life.
The British Values are:
Pupils are encouraged to have a voice and to share their opinions in a safe and respectful way. This includes class discussions, pupil leadership opportunities and involvement in decision-making via the school council.
We demonstrate this through:
School Council
Personal Development Lessons
Pupil, Staff and Parental Surveys
Pupils are taught the importance of rules and laws, whether in school, the local community or wider society. This helps them understand right from wrong and the consequences of actions.
We demonstrate this through:
School behaviour policies
Behaviour assemblies
Personal Development Lessons
Being safe online
School links with the Police, Army and Local Authority
We support pupils to develop self-confidence and independence. Pupils are encouraged to make choices, understand their rights and responsibilities, and express themselves safely.
We demonstrate this through:
Sixth Form Ambassadors
Enrichment clubs
Charity fundraising
Anti-bullying Week
Mental Health Week
Respect is at the heart of our school values. Pupils learn to treat others with kindness and consideration, valuing differences and showing good manners at all times.
We demonstrate this through:
Celebration of the Word
Our school prayer
CARE and RESPECT
Pupils are taught to understand and respect different religions, cultures and beliefs. This is achieved through the curriculum, celebrations of the word and by celebrating diversity within our school community.
We demonstrate this through:
RE Lessons
Culture Week
Personal Development lessons
Behaviour policy
Under the Equality Act 2010, schools are required to protect pupils, staff and families from discrimination. At Christ the King, we are committed to promoting equality, inclusion and respect for all.
The protected characteristics are:
We work to ensure that no one is treated unfairly or discriminated against because of any protected characteristic. We actively challenge stereotypes and prejudice and promote understanding through teaching, discussion and positive role modelling.
As a result of our approach:
We regularly review our curriculum and practices to ensure compliance with statutory guidance and to reflect the needs of our school community.
