British Values

British Values

We are proud that our ethnically and culturally diverse community is fully represented by the students and staff at The Chalk Hills Academy. The Chalk Hills Academy value; ‘To provide all children with the highest quality of teaching of an excellent academic curriculum, which enables them to become highly educated and to be full and active participants of society.,’ fully embraces the fundamental British Values of democracy; the rule of law; individual liberty; mutual respect and tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs.

These values, supported by our strong ethos, are embedded in our day-to-day practice and the relationships between all members of our school community. Additional activities that further promote British Values include:

• Tutor time and assemblies throughout the day;
• Student Voice activities;
• Personal, Social, Citizenship and Health Education programmes;
• Religious Education lessons;
• International Dress Day;
• Classroom debates;
• After school clubs;
• Charity work;
• Sporting events;
• Educational visits and other Learning outside the Classroom;
• Student Council;
• Student responsibility posts including; Junior Leadership Team (JLT) and Prefects.

We use strategies within the curriculum and beyond to ensure these values are communicated and acted upon.

At the academy our spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) education permeates through the curriculum, supports the development of the ‘whole child’ and includes the teaching and development of British Values.
