In accordance with The Department For Education we aim to actively promote British Values in school to ensure young people leave us prepared for life in modern Britain.

Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths , races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is 'right' and 'wrong', all people living in England are subject to its law.

Democracy is an important aspect of school life. Pupils have the opportunity to have their voices heard through our Pupil Council and Pupil Questionnaires. We also have various groups running in school in which children can take an active role in making key decisions. For example, children are part of  our mental health ambassadors team.

We want our pupils to be included in decisions around school development and to have the opportunity to voice their opinions.

The importance of Laws, whether they be those that govern the class, The Cheadle Academy or the county are consistently reinforced throughout the school day. Pupils are taught the value and reasons behind laws that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves and the consequences when laws are broken.

Visits from authorities such as our local PCSO's, and assemblies from T3 are a regular part of our calendar and help reinforce this message. Through our delivery of PSGE, pupils have become more aware of their own and others’ rights. 

Within school, pupils are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. We advise how to make choices safely, for example through our e-safety and PSHE lessons. As a school, we educate and provide boundaries for pupils through provision of a safe environment and empowering education. Pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms.

Part of our school ethos and behaviour policy has revolved around Core Values such as being kind and inclusive of others. Pupils have been part of discussions and assemblies related to what this means and how it is shown. The school promotes respect for others and this is reiterated through our classroom and school life, as well as our behaviour policy.

Tolerance of faiths and beliefs is achieved through enhancing pupils understanding of their place in a culturally diverse society and by creating opportunities of the wider world. Assemblies and discussions involving prejudices and prejudice-based bullying have been followed and supported by learning in RE and PSHE.
