Through our school mission statement, we at Our Lady & St Joseph Catholic Primary School are committed to modeling and teaching both British and Gospel Values. Along with our Governors, we are continually striving to prepare pupils for life in modern Britain. Our curriculum and policies demonstrate that we expect all children to have an awareness and respect for others, take responsibility for their own actions, understand their responsibility as a positive member of society and have an awareness of British values and traditions.
We teach our children British Values through every aspect of school life and we also work closely with the local and wider community to foster positive relationships and aspirational role models for the pupils at Our Lady & St Joseph.
Democracy At Our Lady & St Joseph, we actively model and promote democracy within our school, and this is achieved in a variety of ways, to ensure that our pupils are equipped to fulfill their responsibilities as citizens of a democracy. |
