1. British Values in the Early Years
British values have been embedded in the Early Years Foundation Stage since The set of four values, introduced to help keep children safe and promote their welfare are:
Democracy
Rule of law
Individual liberty
Mutual respect and tolerance for those with different faiths
Our teaching and learning priority this year is to promote the personal development, behaviour and welfare of all children, including their preparation for life in modern Britain. Matthew Leonard is our Governor for British Values

3. Where everyone is treated equally
Democracy
 Where everyone is treated equally
and has equal rights e.g. to make decisions (PSED)
e.g. children have opportunities to develop their self-confidence and self-awareness, to make choices and decisions, take turns, share, collaborate and negotiate

4. This is about understanding that rules matter
Rule of law
This is about understanding that rules matter
(PSED)
e.g. children learn to manage their own feelings and behaviour, learn right from wrong, learn to behave within agreed and clearly defined boundaries and deal with the consequences

5. Individual liberty Freedom for all – a focus on children's self-confidence and self-awareness and on people and communities (PSED/UW) e.g. we help children to develop a positive sense of themselves, to develop their self-knowledge, self-esteem and increase their confidence in their own abilities e.g. we give children the time and space to explore the language of feelings and responsibility, reflect on their differences and understand that we are all free to have different opinions

6. Mutual respect and tolerance for those with different faiths and beliefs
Where we learn to treat others as we want to be treated, how to be part of a community, manage our feelings and behaviour and form relationships with others (PSED/UW)
e.g. ethos of inclusivity and tolerance in our
settings, where views, faiths, cultures and races
are valued and where we encourage children to
appreciate and respect their own and other
cultures and engage with their wider
community 
e.g. we help children explore similarities and
differences between themselves and others,
among families, faiths, communities, cultures
and traditions and to share and discuss
practices, celebrations and experiences
