Introduction to British Values at Berkley School

At Berkley School, British Values are not taught as standalone concepts but are woven naturally into everything we do. Through our nurturing ethos, rich curriculum, and strong sense of community, children learn about democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance in meaningful, age‑appropriate ways. These values shape our expectations, guide our relationships, and help our pupils grow into confident, respectful and responsible young citizens. Our British Values statement explains how these principles are embedded across school life and how we support every child to understand their role in modern Britain.
