Our Curriculum

British Values

At Ashby Willesley we provide opportunities for the spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development of our pupils. As part of this, we promote ‘fundamental British values’.

These are defined by the DfE as :

Democracy

Rule of Law

Indvidual Liberty

Mutal respect and

Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.

Link to the Symphony Learning Trust - British Values Policy

We help our pupils to remember the British Values through the thumb and finger model, which is clearly displayed in the school hall.

Some examples of what these values look like at Ashby Willesley include :

Purple Parliament – each class has a representative, voted for by the class who acts as their voice.

Elected House and Sports leaders in Year 6

Restorative approach to managing behaviour

A well planned and sequential RE, PSHE and RSE curriculum

Our ‘Wonderful World of Willesley’ map, celebrating our families’ diverse heritage

Outdoor Play and Learning, a child-led approach to play at lunctimes.
