The DfE have 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.”

OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILDREN
It is important that children feel part of the Academy community and that their opinions and ideas are valued.
Children have many opportunities for their voices to be heard and there are a number of varied roles such as Playground Leaders, School Council, Pupil Parliament, House Captains. Pupil’s voices are heard through regular meetings. The elected pupils discuss issues and suggest ways to improve the life of the Federation and how we can contribute to the local community.
Children discuss and decide which charities and fundraisers the school should support for the year, and coordinate with the organisation of these events.
Within our Academy, pupils are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. As an academy we educate and provide boundaries for children to make choices safely. There is also a wide range of children who have Buddy duties within school. Through our curricular clubs and opportunities, children are given the freedom to make choices.
Our Academy ethos outlines our determination to prepare children for the ‘wider community’. As a school we educate and provide boundaries for young pupils to make choices safely, through provision of a safe environment and empowering education. Pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and advised as to how to exercise these safely, for example through our E-Safety and PSHE lessons. Whether it be through choice of learning challenge, of how they record, of participation in our numerous extra-curricular clubs and opportunities, pupils are given the freedom to make choices.
The importance of laws, whether they be those that govern the class, the academy, or the country, are consistently reinforced throughout our academy days, as well as when dealing with behaviour and through school assemblies.
Pupils are taught the value and reasons behind laws, that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves and the consequences when laws are broken. Visits from authorities such as the Search and Rescue, NSPCC, Police and Fire Service help reinforce this message. Circle time and PSHE is used as an opportunity to discuss difficult situations that benefit from whole class discussion. Keeping safe when using the internet is regularly discussed with children in computing lessons and in assemblies.
Knowing, understanding and following our school rules is essential for our academy to be a safe learning environment. Assemblies, Worship and PSHE times are delivered with a focus on the law e.g. safety Awareness and E-Safety awareness. Parent workshops are offered to support parents on the law around E-Safety.
Pupils know and understand that it is expected that respect is shown to everyone, whatever differences we may have. Children learn that their behaviour choices have an effect on their own rights and those of others. All members of the school community should treat each other with respect.
Our R.E curriculum provides a broad and balanced education on a range of faiths, religions and cultures. At The Whitchurch Church of England Academy Christian values are at the core of our community and is embraced through our teachings.
Assemblies are regularly planned to address this issue either directly or through the inclusion of stories and celebrations from a variety of faiths and cultures. Our PSHE Programme is delivered through a cross curricular approach.
Members of different faiths or religions are encouraged to share their knowledge to enhance learning within classes and the school.
We believe our academy to be at the centre of our local community; our vision and values are embodied in celebrations and events such as inter-generational work, the school fair, our charitable work and participation in various sporting, academic and artistic endeavours.
Democracy
Règle de loi
L'importance des lois, qu'elles soient celles qui régissent la classe, l'école ou le pays, est constamment renforcée
La Fédération de l'Église d'Angleterre de Whitchurch.
Grâce à notre politique de comportement claire et positive, nous développons la compréhension de nos enfants de l'importance de suivre les règles; qu'ils nous protègent, nous et ceux qui nous entourent. L'autorégulation des enfants et la compréhension du fait que leur comportement affecte les autres et peuvent avoir des conséquences est également un élément crucial de l'apprentissage dans notre Fédération.
Nous donnons aux enfants beaucoup de petits rôles avec responsabilité à travers la Fédération, par exemple, les VIP de classe, les bibliothécaires juniors, les chefs de culte et cela les aide à ressentir un sentiment de fierté et d'estime de soi; ce qui renforce la compréhension de ce qui est «la bonne chose à faire».
Les visites de partenaires communautaires tels que la police et les pompiers aident également à développer la compréhension de nos enfants des rôles au sein de la société.
Rule of Law
Liberté individuelle
À la Whitchurch Church of England Federation, les enfants ont la liberté de faire des choix, sachant qu'ils sont dans un environnement sûr et favorable.
Les élèves sont encouragés à connaître, comprendre et exercer leurs droits et libertés personnelles et conseillés sur la manière de les exercer en toute sécurité, par exemple à travers nos cours E-Safety et PSHE.
Les enfants apprennent les limites et comment prendre des «risques sûrs» grâce à notre programme d'apprentissage en plein air.
Ils sont soutenus pour développer la connaissance de soi, la confiance en soi et la résilience pour faire face aux revers.
Le programme RE, Culte collectif et PSHE renforce les opportunités d'explorer les points de vue et les opinions.
Individual Liberty
Respect mutuel et tolérance des autres
La Fédération a une éthique inclusive très forte de soins et de respect développée autour d'un engagement explicite envers les valeurs chrétiennes. Le respect de soi et le respect des autres font partie intégrante de notre système de valeurs.
Nous reconnaissons que, bien que notre Fédération ait une fondation chrétienne, certains de nos enfants viennent d'horizons très divers, y compris des enfants d'autres communautés religieuses. Le but de la Fédération est de fournir aux enfants une atmosphère, une pratique et une éducation dans lesquelles leur vie et leur expérience spirituelles se développeront.
Les dons de «respect, gentillesse, honnêteté, confiance et paix» sont les valeurs que nous espérons et aspirons que nos enfants encourageront pendant leur séjour dans notre académie pour enfants. Alors que nos enfants poursuivent leur parcours d'apprentissage à travers notre académie junior, nous nous concentrons sur les valeurs supplémentaires de «courage, responsabilité, créativité, persévérance et compassion».
Tous les membres de la communauté scolaire se traitent les uns les autres avec respect. Grâce à notre programme d'éducation religieuse, nous promouvons la tolérance et la compréhension d'un éventail de croyances, de religions et de cultures. En tant qu'école de l'Église, nous promouvons cette tolérance et cette compréhension à travers nos valeurs chrétiennes et nos actes quotidiens de culte collectif. Les «partenaires de discussion» développent la capacité de nos enfants à écouter activement les idées et les opinions des autres. Les enfants développent le fair-play grâce à notre programme d'éducation physique.
