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.
