British Values


At Christ Church (Pellon) C of E (VC) Primary School we take very seriously our responsibility to prepare children for life in modern Britain.  In accordance with The Department for Education we aim to actively promote British values in school to ensure that our pupils leave school prepared for life in modern Britain.

Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.  Within school, our core values and curriculum areas provide a vehicle for furthering understanding of fundamental British Values and, in particular,  RE, PSHE and Citizenship lessons provide excellent opportunities to deepen and develop understanding.

Prevent Strategy


From July 2015 all schools have a duty to safeguard children from radicalisation and extremism. This means we have a responsibility to protect children from extremist and violent views the same way we protect them from drugs or violence. Importantly, we can provide a safe place for pupils to discuss these issues so they better understand how to protect themselves.


  • Exploring other cultures and religions and promoting diversity
  • Challenging prejudices and racist comments

We will also protect children from the risk of radicalisation, for example by using filters on the internet to make sure they can’t access extremist and terrorist materials, or by vetting visitors who come into the school to work with pupils.


If you would like further information regarding the Prevent Strategy please contact school and speak to Miss Coward in the Pastoral Office
