- Teach pupils how they can influence decision-making through the democratic process – e.g. through the work of our School Council.
- Encourage pupils to become involved in decision-making processes and ensure they are listened to in school – again through the work of the School Council.
- Help pupils to respectfully express their views e.g. through English lessons and opportunities to present work and opinions.
- Ensure school rules and expectations are clear and fair e.g. by discussing these with pupils and establishing classroom rules with the pupils themselves.
- Help pupils to respect the law and the basis on which it is made e.g. by showing how rules help everyone to interact in an orderly and fair manner and protect the vulnerable in society.
- Include visits from the police in the curriculum e.g. have sessions with the Community Police Officers, visits from the Fire Service. Develop approaches focused on fairness and justice to resolve conflicts e.g. as part of sanctions in our approach to behaviour.
- Support pupils to develop their self-knowledge, self-esteem and self-confidence e.g. through all areas of teaching and learning in school.
- Challenge stereotypes e.g. through Personal Social Health Education (PSHE) and Collective Worship and within subjects.
- Promote respect for individual differences in all areas of learning and interaction.
- Challenge prejudicial or discriminatory behaviour e.g. through discussion and use of illustrative materials as well as our approach to behaviour in school.
- Develop critical personal thinking skills throughout our curricular work.
- Discuss differences between people, such as differences of family situations, such as looked-after children or young carers e.g. through our PSHE and broader curricular work and through visitors to school sharing their experiences.
- Organise visits to places of worship e.g. visits to the local churches and other diverse places of worship, as appropriate to the curriculum.
- Help pupils to acquire an understanding of, and respect for, their own and other cultures and ways of life e.g. through our Religious Education curriculum and PSHE.
