The British Values are a set of five aspects to society that are delivered to students through several guises within the academy. The work of teaching staff in subject lessons, whole school assemblies, extra-curricular visits and trips are just some of the ways that students are able to ‘take in’ the diversity and privileges that we can all enjoy in life in 21st Century Britain. Ensuring that students are able to understand and articulate the importance of these, is of vital importance and is visually represented through each learning environment within the building. These posters have been included below for reference.
