Promoting Fundamental 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.
Our British Values Statement
At Four Lanes Infant School we take seriously our responsibility to prepare children for life in modern Britain. We ensure that the fundamental British Values are introduced, disseminated and lived out through the ethos and work of the school. All curriculum areas provide a vehicle for furthering understanding of these concepts and, in particular, our RE and PSHE lessons provide excellent opportunities to deepen and develop understanding. The school makes considerable efforts to ensure children have exposure to a wide experience beyond their local community during which these concepts are shown, through for example, a range of visits and visitors.

Rule of Law |
The children at Four Lanes Infants are familiar with this concept through the school rules and classroom charters. Children are used to discussing ways in which they can carry out the school rules. |
