British Values at Connex
British Values News
The promotion of British values is a key aspect of education in the UK. At Connex we actively promote the following fundamental British values:
- Democracy
- The rule of law
- Individual liberty
- Mutual respect and tolerance for those of different faiths and beliefs
At Connex we recognise and value the diverse ethnic backgrounds of children and young people. By respecting different traditions and cultures, we create an inclusive learning environment where all children and young people feel valued. This helps them develop an understanding of the global community and prepares them for life in a multicultural society.
Celebrating important dates in the British calendar, such as Remembrance Day, the King’s Birthday, and major historical anniversaries, helps young people develop a sense of national identity and pride.
British values align closely with children’s communication rights, ensuring that all young people have a voice and are encouraged to express themselves in a respectful and meaningful way. This helps build confidence and empowers students to engage with society as active and informed citizens.
By embedding these principles into education, we help young people develop respect, tolerance, and a strong sense of democracy, preparing them for life in modern Britain.
