British Values

At Trinity Catholic School, we are committed to upholding and demonstrating the British Values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. These values are integrated into every aspect of school life, fostering an environment where students are encouraged to thrive academically, socially, and morally.
  • Democracy: We encourage students to actively participate in decision-making processes, including student councils and class discussions. They are taught to value their voice and understand the importance of voting and participating in a democratic society.
  • The Rule of Law: Our school community places a strong emphasis on the importance of laws and rules, both in school and in society. Students learn to understand why rules exist, how they keep people safe, and the consequences of breaking them.
  • Individual Liberty: At Trinity, students are encouraged to make their own choices in a safe and supportive environment. We provide opportunities for students to explore their interests, develop self-confidence, and take responsibility for their actions.
  • Mutual Respect: Respect for others is at the heart of our school ethos. We teach students to treat everyone with dignity, fostering a culture of kindness and understanding, regardless of differences.
  • Tolerance of Those of Different Faiths and Beliefs: We celebrate diversity and ensure that students learn about different cultures, religions, and worldviews. Through classroom discussions, assemblies, and special events, we promote an understanding and respect for all people, regardless of their background.
By instilling these core values, we aim to prepare our students to be responsible citizens who contribute positively to society.

BRITISH VALUES and OUR CATHOLIC ETHOS POLICY

At The Trinity Catholic School, we seek to promote and uphold the primacy of Christian values such as love, forgiveness, acceptance, justice and hope.  We regard these values as universally and timelessly true.  These are reflected in our school mission statement, ethos, faith practice, charity work, assemblies, academic and pastoral work, and general approach to the social, moral, spiritual and cultural education of our children.
