British Values
Mayor of Clitheroe
On Monday 9th October we welcomed a very special visitor to our school. The Mayor of Clitheroe came to tell the children all about his job and the role of democracy in our political system. He told the children all about when the Mayor's necklace was stolen in the 1980's after thieves broke into the glass cabinet and a new one had to be created, now it is kept in a huge safe.
We want every school to promote the basic British Values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance for those of different faiths and beliefs.” Lord Nash
A key part of our plan for education is to ensure children become valuable and fully rounded members of society who treat others with respect and leave school fully prepared for life in modern Britain. LEARNERS OF TODAY-LEADERS OF TOMORROW

An acceptance that people having different faiths and beliefs to oneself (or having none) should be accepted and tolerated, and should not be the cause of discriminatory behaviour
