Ethos & Values

"Expect the Best, Give the Best, Be the Best."

Kilnhurst Primary School is committed to serving its community. It recognises the multi-cultural, multi-faith and ever-changing nature of the United Kingdom. It also understands the vital role it has in ensuring that groups or individuals within the school are not subjected to intimidation or radicalisation by those wishing to unduly, or illegally, influence them. It aims to actively promote British values in school to ensure young people leave 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. It follows equal opportunities guidance guaranteeing no discrimination; Kilnhurst is dedicated to preparing pupils for their adult life beyond the formal, examined curriculum and promoting British values to all pupils. The government has suggested that pupils are taught about fundamental British values during SMSC classes; pupils are expected to display knowledge of the fundamental aspects of British values.
