Cookridge Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School

The DfE have recently reinforced the need to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.

Actively promoting the values means challenging opinions or behaviours in school that are contrary to fundamental British values. At Cookridge Holy Trinity C of E (A) Primary School these values are reinforced regularly and in the following ways: Every year the children decide on their class rules, which are based upon our school Golden Rules.

All children are involved in the drawing up of these agreements. The children have lots of opportunities to share their views and have a voice. There is a school council with elected members who meet to discuss issues raised in the class councils. There are also members of the worship team who work together to improve the worship experience for all pupils.

Pupils are always listened to by adults and are taught to listen carefully and with respect to each other.
