British Values

British Values at St Anne’s:

Democracy

The Rule of Law

Individual Liberty

Mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs

As a Catholic School, we pride ourselves on ensuring that our Mission Statement of ‘Learn to Love, Love to Learn in readiness for life,’ encompasses these aims and is lived out in our Christian Community each day.

St Anne’s ethos is rooted in Gospel Values and all adults promote respect for others. Feedback from parents attending INSPIRE Days frequently highlights the strength of relationships between staff and pupils.  

Our SCORE Values: Self-Esteem, Commitment, Organisation, Resilience and Excellence reinforce the need for mutual respect and working collaboratively – often noted at Sports Day when pupils are keen to support each other.

Our House Teams are named after Patrons, central to the Catholic Faith and we feel that they promote a positive image and example of Gospel and British Values.

Each House Team is linked to one of our SCORE values and a British Value. Children have the opportunity during their time at St. Anne’s to dive deeper in their knowledge and understanding of their house patron, SCORE and British Values.

As a Catholic, worshipping community, pupils are reminded of their place in a culturally diverse society.  This is achieved through our ‘Personal Development Curriculum’ which includes; RE, RSE, Collective Worship, PSHE, SMSC, Pastoral Support, Mental Health curriculum, Science and British Values.

Our Personal Development Curriculum and learning environment promotes the diversity of society and the right for each person to be respected and valued equally regardless of ability, gender, faith, heritage or race. This supports the greatest of God’s Commandments:

The importance of laws and expectations, whether they be those that govern the class, the school, or the country are consistently reinforced throughout the day, as part of our school behaviour policy and school values.

Pupils are encouraged to know their rights and personal freedoms and guided as to how to exercise these safely – through e-safety and curriculum lessons.
