At Church Langton we take very seriously our responsibility to prepare children for life in modern, multicultural Britain. We incorporate fundamental British Values of tolerance and respect across the ethos and work of the school. All curriculum areas provide a channel for furthering the development of these concepts.
Lessons provide excellent opportunities to deepen and develop understanding of British values, respect, tolerance, democracy and liberty. Children embrace these concepts with enthusiasm and demonstrate a good understanding of their application to their own lives. Our Christian values ensure our children have a values-based understanding which gives them an excellent platform for embracing difference.
