Behaviour Values
- At Bearbrook we strive to meet the needs of all pupils by:
- Creating a vibrant, exciting school and Pre-school where children enjoy their education and make good progress in a stimulating environment.
- Developing the whole child through their creativity and diversity.
- Supporting children to grow into confident, happy, independent life-long learners who can function as successful members of the community.
- Having high expectations of behaviour and attitudes to learning so that they are ready to learn, respectful at all times and as a result feel safe.
At Bearbrook our behaviour values are:
Teaching in relevant subjects
British values are often taught in subjects like history, citizenship, and PSHE. For example, students can learn about the development of democracy in the UK, or about the role of citizens in a democracy.
Promoting democratic processes
Schools can promote democracy by establishing a school council where students vote for their representatives. Students can also participate in mock elections to learn how to argue and defend their views.
Discussing current events
Teachers can discuss current events and the role of British values in society.
Using news resources
Teachers can regularly use news resources to help students understand the importance of British values.
Embedding values in lessons with less explicit links
Teachers can embed British values in lessons with less explicit links, such as by choosing texts to study in English, or by discussing works of art and design.
Inviting guest speakers
Schools can invite guest speakers to the educational setting to reinforce teaching.
Supporting students to become independent
Schools can support students to become as independent as possible, for example, through PSHE lessons, circle times, and assemblies.
