British Values
At Knights Primary, we value the diversity and backgrounds of all our pupils, families and the wider community. We strongly believe in upholding British values through all aspects of out inclusive school provision.
Our school reflects these values in all we do. We aim to nurture our pupils so they can make a positive contribution to the community and wider world.
What are British Values?
The five fundamental British values identified by the government which schools must focus on are:
- Democracy
- The rule of law
- Individual liberty
- Mutual respect
- Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
