Buckler’s Mead is committed to promoting fundamental British values as part of developing well rounded upstanding citizens who are able to make a valuable contribution to the community and British society.
The Department for Education defines British Values as follows:
Democracy- Respect for democracy and support or participation in the democratic process.
Rule of Law- Respect for the basis on which the law is made and applies in England.
Mutual Respect- Support for equality of opportunity for all.
Individual Liberty- Support and respect for the liberties of all within the law.
Tolerance- Respect for and tolerance of different faiths and religious and other beliefs.
We teach these values through a wide range of educational activities and opportunities. These values are also articulated and role modelled by our staff on a daily basis.
Our pupils are taught the importance of being kind, compassionate and respectful to everyone that they meet, irrespective of their faith, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class or any other perceived differences.
