Our British Values
At St Peter's we promote the core British Values and teach these explicitly (alongside our Charter Virtues) across the curriculum. This ensures that pupils make links in their learning and deepen their understanding.
British Values to be explicitly taught
First week of each half term PSHE lesson covering the British Value.
Experiences are also planned to engage the children, within classes or whole school.
