The Coppice actively promotes British Values and challenges opinions or behaviours that are contrary to them. 

Fundamental British Values are: 

Democracy: 

• We have the right to have an opinion and a voice e.g. a vote in a General Election. 

• We respect other people’s views and allow everyone to share their opinions. 

• We make decisions together e.g. helping to decide what is best for our school or country 

The Rule Of Law: 

• The Law is important. It ensures that everyone’s rights are respected and that we are kept safe. 

• We understand rules and why they are important  

• We understand right from wrong 

Individual Liberty: 

• We are free to make our own choices and express our individuality. 

• We try our best to do what is right and fair. 

• We are allowed to hold have our own opinions as long as these are respectful of others 

Mutual Respect: 

• We respect the values, ideas and beliefs of others and don’t try to force our own on others 

• We treat others as we would like to be treated 

• We have respect for each other  

• We work together to make our society or school better 

Tolerance: 

• We value those with different faiths and beliefs to us and those without faith 

• We want to learn about different faiths and cultures 

• We value diversity in our school and country 

• We listen to others’ viewpoints  

• We respect that some people may think differently to us 

Through our PSHE and RE provision, along with our general school ethos/approach and the wider curriculum, The Coppice actively promotes these values in a number of ways. Please refer to the documents below to see this in greater detail.
