British Values

Teaching and promoting British values at The Outdoors School

The Department for Education (DfE) has 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.”

The government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy, and these values have been reiterated by Ministers ever since. At The Outdoors School, these values are carefully promoted through our curriculum, and are woven into the ethos of our school.

We have a developmental approach that enables children to develop their understanding of these values throughout their time at our school in order that they become responsible citizens.
