Charlotte Nursery and Infant School is committed to serving the community of Ilkeston and its surrounding areas. At Charlotte School, we recognise the ever-changing nature of our multi-cultural and multi-faith United Kingdom. These British Values, along side our school values, are regularly promoted through high quality teaching, a program of assemblies and a positive behaviour policy allowing pupils to develop and demonstrate skills and attitudes that will allow them to participate fully in and contribute to life in modern Britain.
The Government has set out its definition of 5 key British Values:
Democracy
We have an elected School Council. This committee works with the staff to raise standards and ensure that every voice is heard in our school. They are also involved in the interview process for all new staff.
The Rule of Law
We have high expectations about pupil conduct and this is reflected in our Positive Behaviour Policy. There are rewards for exhibiting good and caring behaviour 'Right Choices' and consistent demonstration of our values are recognised. Through our school assemblies, circle time and PHSE children are taught how to earn trust, respect and are supported to develop a strong sense of morality; knowing right from wrong and doing the right thing even when it’s difficult and noone is watching! These clear expectations of behaviour support our children in making the right choices and facilitate learning.
Individual Liberty
We provide a safe and supportive environment in which we encourage all to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms while respecting that everyone else also has the same rights. Pupils are encouraged to make good choices within safe boundaries. They are given the opportunity to resolve conflicts effectively and are supported by staff when needed.
Mutual Respect
We believe that respect for others is a vital component of moral development, encouraging open discussions in all areas but especially in lessons which promote citizenship such as PHSE. We actively support all children to develop their own reasoned views about moral and ethical issues, encouraging pupils to understand the rights and responsibilities as citizens within our school and wider community. We support a range of charities – both global and local.
Tolerance of Different Faiths and Beliefs
We aim to promote understanding and appreciation of different faiths and cultures both within school and the wider world. Tolerance of different faiths and beliefs is promoted through the curriculum. We actively promote courtesy and good manners towards all. Ensuring we actively monitor and tackle all forms of bullying and unkind behaviour. This includes cyber bullying, prejudice based bullying related to appearance, SEN, race, religion, belief and disability.
