At St. Clare's Catholic Primary School, we recognise that all children need a broad and balanced education which develops them academically, spiritually, morally, socially and culturally, in preparation for a life in British society.  The promotion of ‘British values’ is central to Catholic education because they have their origin in the Christian values of our nation. 

In accordance with our school Mission Statement: 

St. Clare’s is a Christ-centred family where everyone is valued and respected. We learn and grow, whilst strengthening our relationship with God and one another.

Together in His love, we can achieve our full potential.

Play, learn and grow together with Christ

We believe that the values of democracy, rule of law, liberty, respect and tolerance are explicit and implicit in the Catholic teachings and values of our school.

The Department for Education introduced a statutory duty for schools to actively promote British Values. The five key British Values are:

  • Democracy

  • The rule of Law

  • Individual Liberty

  • Mutual Respect

  • Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs.

 

At St. Clare's, we pride ourselves in promoting these British Values. We have considered how our curriculum and other opportunities can be planned, to enable our pupils to grow into good citizens who are prepared for life in modern Britain.
