British Values

At St Godric’s Catholic Primary School we will enable children to accept and engage with the fundamental British values of:

Democracy – through the implementation of a school council with representation from EY to Year 6, Head pupils, Y6 ambassadors, (all of these groups of children are elected by their fellow pupils)
Rule of law – through the use of shared school and class rules, effective anti-bullying and behavior policy documents and reward systems which motivate the children.
Individual liberty – work to support projects around the world. Currently applying for Live Simply Award. Strong links with CAFOD, Catholic Social Teaching, Role of Mini Vinnies.
Mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs – focus weeks on Islam and Judaism, in addition to gaining an insight into pupil’s own beliefs. Strong links with Parish of the Durham Martyrs and All Saints CE Church, Newton Hall.
