We are committed to actively promoting the fundamental British Values within our school.

At Kingston Park we want to support our children to not only achieve their full academic potential but also embed skills that will enable them to be good citizens and make valuable contributions to the society in which they live.

We have a strong whole school approach and integral to our school vision, aims and values is the use of a ‘common language’ that promotes mutual respect, tolerance, diversity, communication and responsibility.  We have a rich Moral, Spiritual and Cultural curriculum that offers a wide range of opportunities for children to learn about similarities and differences.

 In 2011 the Government set out its definition of British Values in the Prevent Duty.  These values, such as democracy, following the rules of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs. 

These are some of the ways our children see the British Values in Kingston Park:

Democracy:

“In Kingston Park we show democracy by voting for us, the school council. Our class chose us to be their representatives. We were the lucky ones!” (Lily, Year 6)

“Democracy is important so that everyone has their say and can share their opinions. We vote in class to choose activities, and we go with the majority” (Lewis, Year 6)

Rules of Law:

“In Kingston Park we follow the rules because it keeps us safe” (Rory, Year 2)

“When I keep the rules, I am a good role model to everyone” (Benjamin, Year 5)

Individual liberty:

In Mental Health week, we learnt about the importance of using your voice and speaking up for what you think is important.” (Benjamin, Year 5)

We are using our individual liberty by standing up for the Safe Streets project. We are going to ask the ‘big question’ to the council to why they stopped it. This is how we are getting our voices heard to the council” (Jennifer, Year 5)

Mutual respect:

“This is one of our golden threads” (Lucie, Year 1)

 “When someone is talking, you don’t talk over them because it is rude. When you listen, you show that you value what the other person is saying. At Kingston Park we show respect by listening to others” (Joshua, Year 1)

Tolerance:

“We are friends with everyone even if they are different”  (Nina, Year 2)

“Tolerance is the willingness to accept feelings, habits or  beliefs that are different from your own” (Jake, Year 4)

“We celebrate all together for all the different religious festivals like Diwali, Ramadan and Christmas” (Aryav, Year 3)
