British Values
First Steps Together is dedicated to fostering a nurturing educational environment where British values are actively promoted and celebrated. In our schools and nurseries, we recognize the significance of these values in shaping the character and understanding of young children.
One of the key British values we emphasise is democracy. We encourage children to express their thoughts and opinions, fostering an inclusive and respectful atmosphere where everyone's voice is valued. Through class discussions, voting on classroom decisions, and engaging in mock elections, we instill the principles of democracy from an early age.
Respect for the rule of law is another fundamental value we prioritise. Our educators teach children about the importance of rules, fairness, and justice. By providing clear guidelines and boundaries, we enable children to understand the concept of responsibility and the consequences of their actions. Through activities centered around the legal system and visits from community figures such as police officers, we aim to cultivate a sense of respect for the law.
The promotion of individual liberty is also at the core of our educational approach. We encourage children to express their creativity, explore their interests, and make choices within a safe and supportive environment. By fostering independence, critical thinking, and personal responsibility, we empower children to become confident and well-rounded individuals.
At First Steps Together, we place great emphasis on tolerance and respect for different cultures, faiths, and beliefs. We actively celebrate diversity and create opportunities for children to learn about various traditions, customs, and religions. By incorporating multicultural activities, festivals, and discussions into our curriculum, we promote understanding, empathy, and acceptance.
Lastly, we strive to develop a strong sense of community and promote mutual respect. Through collaborative projects, community engagement initiatives, and charitable activities, we encourage children to value the welfare of others and to be active contributors to society.
