British Values

Rivers ESC embraces the multi-cultural, multi faith and ever-changing society of the United Kingdom and aims to ensure its students are prepared to make their contribution to it. 

We recognise that Britain is a united nation where freedom of speech is an entitlement for all and we strive to ensure that all members of the Centre are treated with respect when sharing their views and opinions. It is our aim that the core ‘British Values’ set out by government to be delivered in schools (2011 Prevent Strategy) are not only embedded within our curriculum but are actively demonstrated in our everyday practice.

The five British Values are: 

  • Democracy 
  • The rule of law 
  • Individual liberty 
  • Mutual respect 
  • Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
