British Values

Our School Council works hard to behave in accordance with the British Values:

Democracy

Every child has the right to an opinion and decisions will only be made through collaborative discussion and shared, mutual agreement.

Individual Liberty

Everyone will have the right to express their own thoughts and opinions. We will think as individuals and make decisions based on balanced viewpoints and debate.

Mutual Respect

We will respect the right for everyone to have an opinion and to have a voice. We will treat each other with respect during debates even when we disagree. We will maintain politeness at all times and will always respect the decisions that are made.

Tolerance

When debating and reaching decisions we will understand each other’s differences and value each other’s opinions irrespective of gender, ethnicity, culture or belief. We will encourage equal participation and representation and consider how the decisions we make will affect all members of our community.

The Rule of the Law

Through our School Council we will seek to uphold our school values and our school rules. Decisions that we make through democratic agreement will be passed in school law and will be respected by all.

We are exceptionally proud of the work of our School Councils and how our children work together for the good of their school community. It is definitely a case of Together Everyone Achieves More at the Green Oaks Federation!
