British Values 

British Values are very important to us here at Ellwood Community Primary School. We are dedicated to promoting them within our school community in order to establish a strong sense of social and moral responsibility.

We see British Values as underpinning what it is to be a citizen in a modern and diverse Britain. We strive to create an environment which is free from discrimination, intolerance and hate. We want to challenge prejudice and stereotyping, whilst strengthening relationships within the community.

We 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.

Whilst actively promoting these values with our pupils, we also work hard to try to plan and embed them into our curriculum. Through Geography, RE, and wider curriculum study they learn about the lifestyles of those further away to see that people around the world have the same fundamental values and principles that guide their life, but they may express these differently. This helps to ensure our pupils understand the importance of respect, so they are fully prepared to live and work in modern Britain as responsible citizens. 

Developing and promoting the Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development of the pupils is also a very important part of promoting British Values.
