British Values
D-Day 75 years on.
Responsibility and Respect - St Wilfird's hold our annual Grandparents service and Macmillian coffee morning this is a time to cherish and to listen to all, of our families during the fundraising event. A great time was had by all whilst raising lots of money for a worthy cause.
Democracy in action. Children wrote speeches to deliver to their peers. Children then had the opportunity to vote for who they wanted to represent them for the next school year.
May day King and Queen - Living out our British Values
During St Georges's day the children celebrated and reflected on how at St Wilfrid's we promote, tolerance, diversity and respect, just as St George did all those years ago. The children were invited to come dressed up in red and white to celebrate.
Respect and Responsibility - How St Wilfrid's are doing our part to care for our planet, by carrying out a beach clean, writing to Sir David Attenborough and asking the local council to put a recycling bin in the village, which they did!
Responsibility- St Wilfrid's recognise that we have a responsiblity to promote and protect the well being of others. During our Christmas Inter house challenge we did this through a bake off, raising money for the 'Children's Society'
Democracy-At St Wilfrid's we understand that it is important for everyone to be listened to. This term we have elected our class school council, they attend regular meetings with Mrs Reynolds and share the thoughts and ideas of their class. Each class has a 'School council folder' in which children are encouraged to read the minutes of meetings and submit their ideas.
"I feel happy that I was voted for by my class to be on the school council, because it lets me share my friends ideas with Mrs Reynolds" Nana
"I felt proud when I was voted on the school council, as my class voted for me. I like making new friends on the school council and sharing ideas" Finlay
Rule of law- The children were delighted when we had a visitor from the police force. He explained to them all about 'The Rule of Law' why rules are important and why they need to be followed.
Mutual respect-St Wilfrid's we are always providing opportunities for the children to make links with the wider community, Ripon class read their Remembrance poems at the village memorial, to honor those who have fallen or fought in wars. Hexham class lead the school Remembrance service, inviting family members and governors.
DfE guidelines for Prevent work in schools
Prevent- 'reduces or eliminates the risk of individuals becoming involved in terrorism. Prevent involves the identification and referral of those susceptible to violent extremism into appropriate interventions. These interventions aim to divert the susceptible from embarking down the path to radicalisation'. At St Wilfrid's we are committed to the Prevent agenda and have adopted a school policy to ensure our staff are trained to identify and reduce the risk to our children and our community. Staff and Governors are all trained annually on Prevent.
