We spent a day celebrating British values across the school. These values are democracy, individual liberty, the rule of law, mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
Everybody came to school dressed in the colours of our national flags and each class undertook activities to develop their understanding and celebrate these integral values. The highlight of the day was when the whole school took part in a ballot to vote for an animal to become our national symbol. There were hustings with campaign speeches by groups of year 4, 5 & 6 children, followed by a whole school vote.
