In accordance with the Department for Education, we aim to actively promote British values at Layton Primary School to ensure young people leave school 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.

The key values are:

• Democracy
• Rule of Law
• Individual Liberty
• Mutual Respect
• Tolerance of those of Different Faiths and Beliefs

At Layton Primary School, these values are reflected within our school vision, and we reinforce them through the life of our whole school. Our assemblies reinforce these values, as does our broad curriculum. The British values are taught through PSHE and RE and are reinforced through subjects such as History and Geography.
