In accordance with The Department for Education we aim to actively promote British values in schools to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.
At Brackenwood Junior School, we strive to be a school community where everyone is equally welcomed and respected.
Our school is committed to providing a safe, secure and stimulating environment for all pupils. We value and promote personal achievement, high standards of personal conduct and respect for one another. Our school values of support & respect, engage & aim high and courage & resilience play an intrinsic role in developing each individual child, to enable them to become valuable and fully rounded members of society, who treat others with respect and leave school fully prepared for life in modern Britain.
We value and celebrate the heritages of everybody at Brackenwood Junior School, as well as across British society more widely. We celebrate a variety of British traditions and customs throughout the year, for example, Harvest Festival, Remembrance Day, Mothering Sunday and St George’s Day. We also observe and participate in many important national foci, such as the King’s Coronation, Anti-bullying Week and Safer Internet Day, with many more opportunities planned throughout the year to share and collaborate with the wider community and world.
