British Values Statement

​St. Bart’s Academy Trust is committed to actively promoting British values to ensure our pupils leave us fully prepared for life in modern Britain.

​

The government emphasises that all schools should ensure that they teach pupils about British values. We take every opportunity 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

​Through the promotion of these values, our Trust and its academies aim to ensure pupils:

​

  • Understand the democratic process and how citizens can have a say in decision making.

  • Recognise the advantages of living under the rule of law and how law is essential for a safe society.

  • Understand that there is a separation of power between the executive and the judiciary and why it exists.

  • Understand the reasons for accountability of institutions and why courts maintain independence.

  • Know why freedom of religion protects all faiths, as well as those with no faith.

  • Accept that people who hold different religious beliefs should be tolerated and not discriminated against.

  • Value the importance of identifying and combatting extremism.

We promote British values both within and beyond the classroom and these values are at the heart of our ethos.
