British Values
Promoting British Values
We are committed to fostering a climate and ethos in which British values are promoted and maintained as a part of children's education. As well as educating the children in these areas we expect our team members to uphold these values in everything they do alongside our own Code of Conduct.
Democracy
Promoted through allowing children to be listened to and afforded time to ask and respond, building an understanding that their views count.
For older children making joint decisions through a show of hands or for younger children using visual aids and the chance to develop speech and language.
Rule of Law
Promoted through children managing feelings and behaviour, teaching consequences of behaviour and distinguishing right from wrong.
We utilise the six steps of conflict resolution which help children to learn the skills to manage their behaviour and understand behaviour that others display.
Individual Liberty
Promoted through children developing a positive sense of themselves, aiding their confidence and self-esteem and allowing them to explore the language of feelings and responsibility
Mutual Respect and Tolerance
Promoted through our ethos of inclusion and tolerance, sharing different faith celebrations, and providing resources and activities which challenge gender, cultural and racial stereotyping.
In each of these areas, parents are welcomed and encouraged to promote these values with us. Each of these values is also reflected in our policies and procedures which are available to parents at Secret Garden Nursery.
