British Values Statement
British Values Statement
Dover Christ Church Academy provides an inclusive student centred community that offers our young people a high quality education and develops confident, well informed citizens who understand their responsibilities to serving the community.
It recognises the multi-cultural, multi-faith and ever changing nature of the United Kingdom. It also understands the vital role it has, ensuring that groups or individuals within the academy are not subjected to intimidation or radicalisation by those wishing to unduly, or illegally, influence them.
It follows equal opportunities guidance which guarantees that there will be no discrimination against any individual or group, regardless of faith, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, political or financial status, or similar. Dover Christ Church Academy is dedicated to preparing students for their adult life beyond the formal examined curriculum and ensuring that it actively promotes and reinforces British values to all its students.
The Government emphasises that schools are required to ensure that key ‘British Values’ are taught in all UK schools. The government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy.
The five British Values are:
Democracy
The rule of law
Individual liberty
Mutual respect
Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
This also aligns with the academy’s obligations, under section 78 of the Education Act (2002), as part of a broad and balanced curriculum to promote the spiritual, moral, cultural and social (SMSC) developments of all students. The academy uses strategies within the National curriculum and beyond to secure such outcomes for students.
All five values are extensively covered within the academy’s assembly/ tutorial programme which further reinforce students’ understanding.
In addition to the curriculum, there is an extensive and rich enrichment programme which underpins the promotion of all the values. These range from participation within team and individual sports to clubs which use their skills to actively help both charities in the local area and abroad.
The academy seeks to continuously review and evaluate its work by gaining external accreditation.
