British Values

At Belmont School we promote ‘British Values’ through our spiritual, moral, social and cultural education and distinctly the UNICEF 'Rights of a Child', which permeates through the schools’ curriculum and supports the development of the ‘whole child’. We recognise that such development is most successful when those values and attitudes are promoted by all the staff and provide a model of behaviour for our pupils.

‘British Values’ have been identified as:


The ability to communicate is the most important area of learning. At Belmont School we ensure that pupils are given a ‘voice’ to communicate.


Rule of Law:

We involve pupils in creating class charters linked to the school's Behaviour for Success policy and the UNICEF Rights Respecting Agenda; helping pupils to make decisions and choices that are acceptable to the school community and society at large. Pupils are supported to manage their behaviour and take responsibility for their actions. Staff are committed to providing a consistent and predicable environment within the school and beyond. We can help some pupils to understand the connection between actions and consequences. This type of environment enables pupils to feel safe and secure; this in turn, promotes the optimum conditions for learning to take place.

Individual Liberty:


Mutual Respect:


Tolerance of different faiths and beliefs:


Pupils are encouraged to experience British Culture through our curriculum themes. Schools take part in local sporting activities which helps to instil ‘fair play’ and engender a ’team spirit’. For example, children have the opportunity to participate in football, athletics and academic competitions. The staff work closely with parents, carers and other professionals to ensure that the pupils school are happy, well cared for and enabled to learn the skills they need to live a fulfilling life as part of their community.
