British Values at Hoyland Springwood

​The Government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy, and these values were reiterated in 2014.  At Hoyland Springwood Primary these values are reinforced regularly and in the following ways. 

Democracy
At Hoyland Springwood we have a very proactive School Council. All Classes from Year 1 to Year 6 elect 2 Class Council representatives each year. These Class Council representatives attend regular School Council Meetings, presenting and representing their fellow classmates. The School Council are thoroughly integrated into whole school decision making.
We promote, listen to and respect the Pupil Voice. Our School Council genuinely effect change within the school. In school; Subject Leaders, Class Teachers and Senior Leaders consult pupils regularly to discuss the evolving curriculum, subject planning, behaviour management, transition and enrichment opportunities.
​
The Rule of Law
The importance of Laws, whether they be those that govern the class, the school, or the country, are consistently reinforced throughout regular school days, as well as when dealing with behaviour and through school assemblies. Pupils are taught the value and reasons behind laws, that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves and the consequences when laws are broken. Visits from authorities such as the Police and Fire Service help reinforce this message. Pupils and adults at our school actively support and follow our Golden Rules. 
  1. Be Safe
  2. Be Kind & Sensible
  3. Be Polite & Honest
  4. Try Your Best
  5. Respect Others & their Property
Our comprehensive behaviour policy explains the wide range of positive behaviour strategies we use in school. We celebrate our ‘Always Pupils’ weekly in our celebration assembly and hold half termly reward celebrations to recognise all our pupils who follow the Golden Rules.

Individual Liberty
Within school, pupils are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. As a school we educate and provide boundaries for young pupils to make choices safely, through provision of a safe environment and empowering education.  Pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and advised how to exercise these safely, for example through our E-Safety, PLT Challenges and PSHE lessons. Whether it be through choice of learning challenge, of how they record, of participation in our numerous extra-curricular clubs and opportunities, pupils are given the freedom to make choices.

Mutual Respect
Mutual respect is at the heart of our values. Children learn that their behaviours have an effect on their own rights and those of others. All members of the school community treat each other with respect. This is again reflected through, school policies and our Golden Rules. It is not only the adults at our school who model respect for others; our Playground Leaders and Team Leaders actively model how to treat each other respectfully. Respect for others is celebrated in class, at playtime and during lunchtimes.

Tolerance of those of Different Faiths and Beliefs
At Hoyland Springwood we place a great emphasis on promoting diversity with the children. Assemblies are regularly planned to address this issue either directly or through the inclusion of stories and celebrations from a variety of faiths and cultures. Our RE, PSHE and Philosophy teaching reinforce this. In addition to these lessons we enjoy an annual Interfaith Week where students enjoy visiting different places of worship, meeting members from a range of faiths, cooking, engaging in arts and stories and exploring different festivals.  We are proud to say not only are different faiths and beliefs tolerated at our school they are regularly and actively celebrated.
