Democracy

Democracy

We provide pupils with a broad general knowledge of, and promote respect for, public institutions and services – by discussing these whenever appropriate in curriculum work.
We teach pupils how they can influence decision-making through the democratic process – e.g. School Council - We encourage pupils to become involved in decision-making processes and ensure they are listened to in school.
We hold elections, discussion and debates so that pupils learn how to argue and defend points of view e.g. when electing representatives to the School Council for each class.
We help pupils to express their views e.g. through English lessons and opportunities to present work and opinions.
We model how perceived injustice can be peacefully challenged e.g. through our interactions with pupils, such as discussing scenarios when managing conflicts, in assemblies and in PHSE lessons.
