British Values
British Values at Our Lady of Lourdes
At Our Lady of Lourdes our Gospel Values promote our British Values. Our commitment is to achieve the best possible educational outcome for our children, in order to help them to prepare for life in Modern Britain. Fundamental British Values
Democracy
We promote democratic values in the curriculum and in the processes by which the school council is elected. We listen to pupil, parent and staff voices and adapt and change at school accordingly.
The Rule of Law
We promote positive, safe and respectful behaviour through a positive behaviour policy which is consistently and fairly applied and followed to teachings of the Gospel where forgiveness is key. Laws, wherever we are, exist to protect us all and ensure a peaceful environment.
Individual Liberty and Mutual Respect
Our children know at Our Lady of Lourdes that God gives us a free will and a liberty which allows us to make choices and be aware of our individual liberty. All of our children are invited to participate in the life of the school community.
Tolerance of those with different Faith and Beliefs
At Our Lady of Lourdes we create an atmosphere of calm which promotes mindfulness, humility and gentleness to enable our children to have respect for other faiths. Through the curriculum we teach the children to respect and understand other cultures and tradition.
As a school we relentlessly tackle bullying or racism which occurs and positively promote respect and tolerance.
