The four main British Values:

Democracy:

Pupils, parents and staff have the right to have their voices heard. We have a school council made up of pupil-elected class representatives. Within the school council meetings, children raise issues and suggest ideas for improvement both within in school as well as in the wider school community.

The Rule of Law: 

The importance of law and rules is taught and reinforced throughout school in order to teach pupils to take responsibility for their own actions. Pupils are taught the reasons behind rules and laws, how they govern and protect us and the consequences of what happens when rules are broken. 

Individual Liberty: 

At Bramley St. Peter's, we promote freedom of choices and the right to respectfully express our views and beliefs in a safe environment is explained to pupils. We support children to understand that they have rights and personal freedoms and we advise how to exercise these safely. 

Mutual Respect and Tolerance of Different Faiths or Beliefs: 

Children are taught to show empathy and understanding of people from different backgrounds. Pupils are given regular opportunities to learn about different cultures and beliefs to reinforces messages of tolerance and respect. This allows pupils to understand and respect values different to their own. 

Our School Council Leaders delivered a presentation to the whole of KS1 to highlight Parliament Week 2024.  They explained all about Rachel Reeves' visit to school and gave the children the opportunity to use their democratic voice in a ballot on how they would like to spend Leeds City Council funds for young people in our area.
