Promoting British Values & Life In Modern Britain

The Department for Education defines British Values as:

• Democracy
• The rule of law
• Individual liberty
• Mutual respect
• Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs

At Paisley Primary School, we believe that these five values help to prepare our children for life in modern Britain.

Paisley Primary School understands that there are many different types of community in Hull and in modern Britain. We are committed to promoting the British values to the many different nationalities and languages that we serve.

Our assembly schedule ensures that British Values are taught explicitly each week. In addition to this, all children are taught PSHCE through our Jigsaw curriculum, which includes regular exposure and discussion of British Values.
