British Values

Through our curriculum, extra-curricular activities and assemblies, Acocks Green Primary School actively promotes British values. By doing so, we ensure that all children understand the values that traditionally underpin British society.

The teaching of these values promotes cohesiveness within our school and community. We prepare children for life in modern Britain where our population has a rich diversity of backgrounds, origins, beliefs, lifestyles and cultures; all of which are celebrated at our school.

Each half term, we focus on a different ‘child friendly’ value.

The values we look at throughout the year are: Justice, Respect, Care, Honesty, Resilience, and Understanding. 

'The personal development provision in the school is exemplary. An extensive range 
of sport, music, performance, outdoor education, trips and visits support the 
planned curriculum and broaden pupils’ cultural capital. Pupils have an impressive 
understanding of fundamental British values, for example democracy and the rule of 
law. Pupils visit places of worship to learn about different views and beliefs. This 
helps them to build a knowledge of concepts, such as fairness, tolerance and 
equality. Pupils enjoy clubs such as chess, computing and the chance to perform 
with the school orchestra. The school provides sporting opportunities for all pupils 
and have been successful in winning local tournaments such as school tennis.'

Acocks Green Primary School sits at the heart of the local community, in every sense. Our community supports and inspires the work that we do, and we draw on these strengths to offer our children the very best start in life. We are proud of our diverse community and we are equally proud to share and celebrate the values, which underpin our society. Family life, fair-play, tolerance, freedom and liberty, democracy and the rule of law are just some of the values, which make Britain great.
