Promoting British Values & Life In Modern Britain
We agree with the Department for Education’s five part definition of British Values:
• Democracy
• The rule of law
• Individual liberty
• Mutual respect
• Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
We believe these British Value are effectively promoted in our school through our School Aims.
Boothferry Primary School understands that there are many different types of community in Goole and in modern Britain. We are committed to promoting the above to the different nationalities and languages that we serve.
