Throughout all of our school activities and lessons, we encourage children to have a positive view of themselves along with a respect for others. We have a duty to promote British Values through the spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development of our pupils.

The fundamental British values are:

  • Democracy
  • The rule of law
  • Individual liberty
  • Mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs

SMSC development and British Values are not taught as separate subjects; they are embedded in all aspects of school life, and take a variety of forms:

  • The behaviour that we expect of our pupils in the classroom and playground
  • Our STARS Values and Positive Behaviour Policy
  • The topics covered during PSHE lessons
  • Our collective worship and religious education
  • Our School Council, Head Boys & Girls, Playground Leaders and Sports Ambassadors
  • The extra-curricular clubs that we offer
  • Creative curriculum topics exploring other countries and cultures
  • International menus
  • Participating in fundraisers, such as Children in Need
  • Promoting awareness weeks, such as “Rule Out Racism” and Anti-Bullying

Holden Lane is a small school with a big heart.
