We place a strong emphasis on ensuring our students are not only qualified for work but are equipped for life. Our curriculum encourages students to accept responsibility for their behaviour, show initiative, and understand how they can contribute positively to the academy, the local community, and the wider society.
Developing students' self-knowledge and self-confidence enables them to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures. It encourages them to distinguish right from wrong and respect England's civil and criminal law. This prepares them for life in modern Britain and all that this entails; for example, accepting that other people have different faiths and beliefs and appreciating that living under the rule of law protects individual citizens and is essential for their well-being and safety.
“Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good. Diversity is recognised and celebrated. Fundamental British values are taught well.” - OFSTED
The Four British Values are:
- The Rule of Law
- Democracy
- Mutual Respect and Tolerance of Those with Different Faiths and Those without Faith
- Individual Liberty
The booklets below contain details of the coverage of these values across the curriculum at North Liverpool Academy. British Values are embedded within the curriculum and also taught explicitly through the PSAT form programme.
In some subject areas, the concepts may be taught explicitly, whereas in others they may be referred to, or be part of the broader way in which the subject is delivered.
