Anlaby Primary School

What are British Values?

Schools are required to provide for the spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development of their pupils.Part of this requirement means that they actively promote the fundamental British Values. The fundamental British Values are defined as: 

Promoting these British Values is now a central part of teaching and learning. By doing this, schools aim to help children become well-rounded members of the society. These British Values are promoted throughout the curriculum, across the whole school. They are also seen in school ethos and policies, assemblies, special events and cultural celebrations.

Picture News

At Anlaby, we have weekly Picture News assemblies which have links to British Values. These start with an eye catching poster and an interesting queston to be explored related to something that is going on in the news.  Picture News supports our children in encountering and considering the key issues of the day in a planned and age-appropriate way. It also supports their developing understanding of Protected Characteristics and the UN Rights of the Child.
