  • Through our assemblies, circle time and PSHE children are taught how to earn trust and respect and are supported to develop a strong sense of morality.

  • Our SEAL programme of work has a whole unit relating to Individual liberty which is ‘Good to be me’.

  • Children are taught how to keep themselves safe, including on-line. This is done through computing lessons, assemblies and outdoor organisations such as the NSPCC and through PSHE lessons.

  • We use achievement assembly to share the children’s out of school achievements and the use of Show and Tell in the younger classes

Mutual Respect

  • We have high expectations about pupil conduct and this is reflected in the Behaviour Policy and Equality Policy.

  • Through our school’s values and PSHE lessons, children are taught to respect each other, to be cooperative and collaborative, be supportive and to look for similarities while being understanding of differences.

  • Classes have boards that promote each person as an individual or celebrate their individual success.

Tolerance

  • Tolerance and understanding of different faiths and beliefs is promoted through the Nott’s Syllabus for Religious Education. Children learn about different religions, different beliefs, places of worship and festivals.
