The importance of laws, whether in class, in school, or in our country are referred to and reinforced through Collective Worship, PHSE and when reflecting on behaviour choices.  Pupils are taught the value and reasons behind decisions, and the consequences if they are broken. 

At the beginning of the school year, each class discuss the importance of the school rules, a set of principles that are clearly understood by all and seen to be necessary to ensure that every member of our school is able to learn in a safe and ordered environment.

Pupils are taught the value and reasons behind laws, that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves, and the consequences when laws are broken.

These values are reinforced in different ways:

• Each class discusses the school rules, to ensure they are clearly understood by all in order that they have a safe environment in which all pupils have a right to learn
• The whole school behaviour policy is clearly structured, publicised and followed by all. 
• Pupils have regular opportunities to reflect, for example, on their choices during Collective Worship.
• Collective Worship covers national and international events and explicitly link these to British values.
• In RE lessons, pupils have the opportunities to explore the rules of particular faiths
• During other subjects, their respect and appreciation for different rules are reinforced such as the importance of Global Goals, rules in sports lessons, taking part in competitions.
• Teaching children an understanding of human rights, in particular the UNICEF rights of the child.
• By implementing our school rules which have clear and agreed statements, and ensuring that the children know their own rights and respect the rights of others.
• Teaching children to learn about the process of law-making and the part that citizens can play in that process, for example taking part in School Council elections.
• Implementing our procedures and protocols for dealing with any behavioural or bullying issues and the very rare incidents of racial, homophobic and other forms of discrimination, which demonstrates to pupils that we take these issues very seriously, mirroring the attitudes of British society.
