British Values
In accordance with the Department for Education we aim to actively promote British values in schools to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain.
Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.
The key values are:
- democracy
- rule of law
- individual liberty
- mutual respect
- tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
Navigating a Complex World
We believe that education extends beyond the classroom and includes preparing our students to understand, engage with, and positively impact the world around them. As a school community we are committed to providing our students, staff, and local communities with the tools and support needed to thoughtfully navigate current affairs and global issues.
In an increasingly complex world, our responsibility is not only to foster academic growth but also to encourage critical thinking, empathy, and resilience. Through a curriculum that reflects global perspectives and promotes open dialogue, we aim to equip our students to consider diverse viewpoints, understand the impact of their actions, and become active, informed citizens.
We strive to maintain a supportive environment where our students feel safe discussing challenging topics, including those that may directly impact their communities. Our staff are dedicated to guiding these discussions with sensitivity and respect, helping students to develop the confidence and insight they need to make positive contributions to society. Staff are trusted to maintain a professional, neutral stance when discussing or presenting topics of public interest, ensuring a fair and respectful space for all viewpoints, while upholding principles of political impartiality and staff neutrality (as outlined in our Political Impartiality Statement).
As we face global challenges together, Prince Albert Community Trust and its schools remain committed to its vision of creating inclusive and compassionate educational communities that empower each individual to succeed in school and in life. We appreciate the trust placed in us by our families, and we remain steadfast in our mission to inspire young minds to think globally, act responsibly, and lead with integrity.
Political Impartiality Statement
Prince Albert Community Trust is committed to maintaining a politically impartial environment that fosters open dialogue, critical thinking, and respect for diverse perspectives. As an educational institution, we recognise the importance of providing a space where students, staff, and members of the school community can engage in discussions on various topics, including those of a political nature.
Our commitment to impartiality ensures that our schools remain a neutral ground where individuals of differing political beliefs can coexist harmoniously, fostering an inclusive and respectful learning environment.
While we encourage active civic engagement and the exploration of political ideologies, Prince Albert Community Trust does not endorse or promote any specific political party, candidate, or ideology. Our schools remain neutral in matters of politics, and we encourage our community members to approach political discussions with open-mindedness, empathy, and a commitment to understanding different perspectives.
We are dedicated to providing an education that empowers students to think critically, make informed decisions, and engage responsibly in civic life. By maintaining political impartiality, we aim to create an environment that supports the development of well-rounded individuals who are prepared to contribute positively to society.
This commitment to political impartiality extends to all Trust and school-sponsored events, activities, and communications. We encourage our school communities to uphold these principles and engage in constructive dialogue that reflects the values of respect, tolerance, and open-mindedness.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in creating a learning environment that values diversity and promotes community cohesion.
