--- title: "British Values" url: "https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/british-values" school: "Boarshaw Primary School" --- # British Values #### **British Values** #### At Boarshaw Community Primary School, we are dedicated to promoting values which ensure that our pupils develop a strong sense of moral and social responsibility. We believe that we need to prepare our pupils for life in modern Britain and we do this by embracing the five themes: democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of culture, faith and others. #### ![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/JH%20-%20random%20images/IMG_1510.JPG) ![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/JH%20-%20random%20images/IMG_1512.JPG) #### ![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/JH%20-%20random%20images/IMG_1511.JPG) #### #### [![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/icon/acrobat_file.gif) British Values at Boarshaw Community Primary School](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/files/Statement_-BCPS.pdf) #### [![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/icon/acrobat_file.gif)](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/files/BCPS_calendar_of_events.pdf) [SMSC Government Guidance](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/files/Documents/SMSC_Guidance_Maintained_Schools.pdf) #### #### **Have a look at previous learning in school linked to British Values** #### **Shrove Tuesday** #### Each year Boarshaw Primary celebrates Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday where classes make pancakes and have the chance to taste their creations!

We recognise that valuing other people's beliefs, traditions and customs is important to British people. #### ![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/World%20Religion%20Day/IMG_0909.JPG) ![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/World%20Religion%20Day/IMG_0918.JPG) ![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/World%20Religion%20Day/IMG_1494.JPG) #### Foundation stage - Christianity: re-enacted a wedding and made stained glass windows #### Year 1 - Hinduism: studied the festival of light and made lanterns #### Year 2 - Islam: learnt about the features of a mosque and the traditional dress #### Year 3 - Judaism / Islam: retold the story of Moses / practiced the tradition of Wudu #### Year 4 - Sikhism: designed a temple, ate traditional food, listened to Sikh stories and studied the 5Ks #### Year 5 - Judaism: learnt how to write in Hebrew, the features of a synagogue, looked at various sacred texts and the story of Hanukkah #### Year 6 - Buddhism: learnt about the customs in Buddhism and made clay Buddhas #### ![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/World%20Religion%20Day/020.JPG) ![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/World%20Religion%20Day/026.JPG) #### #### **Remembrance Day** #### ![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/British%20Values/20151019_134947.jpg) #### On Armistice Day, we took time to hold a 2 minutes silence at 11am to recognise and remember all the fallen soldiers, together with those who are still fighting for our country today. We sold poppies, slap bands, bracelets and key rings to raise money for this good cause and within classes, created some amazing art work and poppy wreaths. #### In 2018 we celebrated Remembrance Week where all classes worked to create a wonderful display in our entrance and hosted a parent event to showcase our learning from the week. Have a look at some of our amazing work [here](https://www.boarshawprimary.co.uk/photo-galleries/remembrance-week-2018). #### #### **Longest Reigning Monarch** #### When Queen Elizabeth became the longest reigning monarch, the whole school were involved in activities to celebrate this special day. We learnt some amazing facts about the Queen, about the Queen's family and who was the longest reigning monarch before her. #### ![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/British%20Values/20151019_134903.jpg) ### Our School - [Our Classes](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes) - [Our Curriculum](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum) - [Art and Design Curriculum](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/art-and-design) - [British Values](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/british-values) - [Computing Curriculum](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/computing-curric) - [Curriculum Intent, Implement and Impact](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum-intent-implement-and-impact) - [Curriculum Overviews](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/curriculum-overviews) - [Design and Technology Curriculum](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/design-and-technology-curriculum) - [Early Years Foundation Stage](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/early-years-foundation-stage) - [English Curriculum](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/eng-curric) - [Enrichment](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/enrichment) - [Geography Curriculum](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/geography-curriculu) - [History Curriculum](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/history) - [Maths Curriculum](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/maths-curric) - [MFL Curriculum](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/mfl) - [Music Curriculum](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/music) - [PE Curriculum](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/pe) - [Phonics](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/phonics) - [PSHCE Curriculum](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/pshce) - [RE Curriculum](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/re) - [Reading Curriculum](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/reading-and-phonics-curriculum) - [Science Curriculum](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/science-curric) - [SMSC](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum/SMSC) - [Our School Governors](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-governors) - [Our Results](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/our-school/our-results) - [Our School Vision ](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-vision-statement) - [Our School Policies](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-policies) - [Our School Priorities](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/our-school-development-plan) - [Our School Evaulation Summary](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/school-evaluation-summary) - [Staff List](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/our-school/staff-list) - [PiraMidd ](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/piramidd) **Boarshaw Primary School** Stanycliffe lane Middleton Manchester M24 2PB Tel: 0161 653 9536 ## Useful Links: [Term Dates](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/parents/termdates) [Contact Us](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/contact) [Admissions](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/our-school/admissions) [Policies](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-policies) © Copyright 2025–2026 Boarshaw Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
