Fundamental British Values Schools Should Ensure Students:  Develop self-knowledge, self-esteem and self-confidence; Individual Liberty  Distinguish right from wrong and respect the civil and criminal law of England; The Rule of Law  Accept responsibility for their behaviour, show initiative, and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in the locality of the school and to society more widely; Individual Liberty, Mutual Respect and Tolerance  Acquire a broad general knowledge of - and respect for - public institutions and services in England; Democracy and the Rule of Law  Acquire an appreciation of - and respect for - their own and other cultures, show respect for other people, and contribute to harmony between different cultural traditions; Mutual Respect and Tolerance  Respect democracy and participate in the democratic processes, including respect for the basis on which the law is made and applied in England. Democracy and the Rule of Law

Government Guidance Recommended Action  Include in suitable parts of the curriculum, as appropriate for the age of pupils, material on the strengths, advantages and disadvantages of democracy, and how democracy and the law works in Britain, in contrast to other forms of government in other countries;  Ensure that all pupils within the school have a voice that is listened to, and demonstrate how democracy works by actively promoting democratic processes such as a school council whose members are voted for by the pupils;  Use opportunities, such as general or local elections, to hold mock elections to promote fundamental British values and provide pupils with the opportunity to learn how to argue and defend points of view;  Use teaching resources from a wide variety of sources to help pupils understand a range of faiths, and  Consider the role of extra-curricular activities, including any run directly by pupils, in promoting fundamental British values.

St.Thomas’s Approach For St. Thomas's Centre “ It is our expectation that every pupil succeeds. No exceptions. No excuses.” For every St Thomas’s child or young person to have a deep sense of responsibility: - For humanity - For our world For all who work and learn in St Thomas’s Centre to be: - Proud to be a part of their school

DfE: Promoting fundamental British values as part of SMSC in schools - Departmental advice for maintained schools Pub: Nov 2014 “Schools should promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. This can help schools to demonstrate how they are meeting the requirements of section 78 of the Education Act 2002, in their provision of SMSC.”

But these values aren’t just British, are they? “Of course, people will say that these values are vital to other people in other countries. And, of course, they’re right. But what sets Britain apart are the traditions and history that anchors them and allows them to continue to flourish and develop.” PM David Cameron Mail on Sunday – June 2014
