Visions and Values | Riddings Infant and Nursery School

Our visions and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.

We pride ourselves on the breadth and balance of the school curriculum which is carefully planned to ensure it not only meets new national curriculum requirements in terms of the range and requirements of subjects taught, but provides our children with rich, meaningful and relevant learning experiences and prepares them for life in modern Britain through the embedding of British Values.

As part of our school vision for our children to become ‘responsible citizens’ we provide opportunities for children to learn about and experience:

The values of democracy, rule of law and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different (or no) faiths and beliefs.
The understanding and appreciation of different cultures in school and within Britain.
An understanding of how people can influence the decision making process through the democratic system.
The importance of identifying and combatting all forms of discrimination.
