British Values

In line with The Department for Education, our school is dedicated to promoting British values to prepare students for life in modern Britain. We encourage pupils to respect and tolerate individuals of all faiths, races, and cultures, and to recognise that while people may hold different views on what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, everyone in England is subject to its laws.

The core British values include:
