Welcome to the St Hugh’s Catholic Primary School. St Hugh’s Catholic Primary School is a caring school, who ensures that the children can become the best possible learners they can be. Every member of staff is committed to providing the children with a happy, well-disciplined nurturing environment where the children can thrive and make the most of every learning opportunity offered to them. We are ambitious for all our children. We aim to be a school where all the children are inspired to see learning as a lifelong experience, thus empowering them to make good choices in later life. We promote the best possible academic, cultural, and moral values in an inclusive environment. All our children, regardless of background, culture, religious belief, or ability, are equally valued, supported, and challenged. St Hugh’s Catholic Primary School aspires to be easily accessible to parents. A successful school is one where there is a partnership between school and home and we welcome your support and input. St Hugh’s School provides a welcoming, safe and secure environment for all. Our school aims to be a community that reflects real gospel values of love and forgiveness. A community in which each individual, child or adult, can work in an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding to broaden their appreciation of the world, its cultures, and its people. At St. Hugh’s Catholic Primary School, we take our responsibility to prepare children for life in modern Britain very seriously. We ensure that the fundamental British Values are introduced, discussed, and lived out through the ethos and work of our school. Our Catholic ethos and all of our curriculum areas provide a platform for developing these concepts. Children embrace them with enthusiasm and demonstrate a good understanding of their application to their own lives. We make considerable efforts to ensure children have exposure to a wide experience beyond their local community during which these concepts are shown. The children’s strong values-based understanding gives them an excellent platform for embracing difference. The four fundamental British Values are Democracy, Rule of Law, Individual Liberty, Respect, and tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs. Our Awards: Reading Quality Mark, Contribution to the Community Award, International School Award Intermediate Level Autumn 2017, History Quality Mark, School of Sanctuary Award. Through the curriculum, we aim to prepare pupils for the opportunities, experiences, and responsibilities of adult life and to lay a firm foundation for future learning. We seek to provide a broad, balanced differentiated curriculum and offer a wide range of exciting, challenging activities and experiences to all pupils irrespective of ability, background, ethnic origin, or gender. We acknowledge that people learn in many different ways and we recognize the need to develop strategies that allow all children to learn in ways that suit them. Opportunities are planned to cater to a range of different learning styles to ensure that all children can access the curriculum and learn in a way that is best for them. There is very strong evidence linking reading for pleasure and the success a child has later on in life. The benefits of reading for pleasure go way beyond academic attainment and stretch throughout a person’s whole life. Children who read for enjoyment every day not only perform better in school than those who don’t, they also develop a broader vocabulary, increased general knowledge, and a better understanding of different cultures. Reading for pleasure can result in improved relationships with others, increased empathy, lower levels of stress, and improved general wellbeing. Reading is not just something children should do in school. It needs to be an everyday part of their lives – something they will choose to do as adults too. At St. Hugh’s Catholic Primary School we teach Religious Education using Come and See which is a Catholic Primary Religious Education Programme. Religious Education is the core subject that is central to life at St. Hugh’s. Come and See offers the opportunity to search, explore, discover and respond. St. Hugh’s is a rich and diverse community. During Jesus’ life on earth, he met people of diverse backgrounds and religious groups who were different from himself. He showed respect for those inside and outside his faith community. We are committed to respecting people of other faiths and recognize that God is at work within them. Come and See supports and enables the faith experience of all children because it starts with their real-life experiences. We try to promote their human growth in such a way that they can integrate their faith with every aspect of their lives. View full school

St Hugh's was founded in Bickley, Kent in 1906 and after a short spell in Chislehurst moved out to Malvern during the war. In 1945 it moved to its new home at Carswell Manor, a fine Jacobean country house with extensive, attractive grounds. The school proudly bears the name of Hugh of Avalon, Bishop of Lincoln from 1156 to 1200. It is in membership of the Incorporated Association of Preparatory Schools and is administered as a charitable educational trust by a Board of Governors. For many years St Hugh's was solely a boys' full boarding school. Since 1977 we have been co-educational and we see this as a key element in the family atmosphere which pervades St Hugh's and which enables our children to grow up in an environment where courtesy and consideration for others are paramount. St Hugh's aims to provide a secure, happy environment, promoting the emotional wellbeing and mental health of all pupils and enabling them to gain confidence. To develop a moral and spiritual awareness in pupils and to lead them to value themselves and others. To give a sound academic foundation, to foster a positive work ethic, and to encourage pupils to think for themselves and to become independent learners. To instill a desire to participate in a wide range of activities and to contribute to the community. To encourage a readiness to tackle new tasks and to accept challenges without fear of failure. To achieve a genuine, broad preparation for successful transfer to senior school and the challenges of life ahead. St Hugh’s is a co-educational preparatory school with a clear sense of purpose: to give our pupils a secure educational foundation and the confidence to be adaptable and independent as they prepare for life beyond the school. We aim to give them all the opportunity and encouragement to develop their interests and talents while learning to work and play together and to contribute positively to their community. There is no competitive selection: we both welcome and cater to pupils of a wide range of ability. We aim to foster confidence and a love of learning across this range – an outstanding Scholarship and Common Entrance record and the provision of integral learning support both bear testimony to our inclusive approach. We reflected recently about which values are most important to us as a whole school community and identified six key values which we try to remember and utilize every day. The trees below demonstrate and expand upon these values, in an age-appropriate way, for Nursery, Pre-Prep, Middle, and Upper School children. View full school

Welcome to St Hilda. As the only co-educational 11-18 Church of England school in Liverpool, St Hilda’s is unique. Our students make St Hilda’s a special place to learn. At St Hilda’s we truly believe that people matter most. We are a community underpinned by our Christian values and principles. Positive, respectful relationships lead to the success we continue to enjoy. Our core purpose is to inspire our students to embrace learning and develop the skills necessary to be successful in a changing world. Aspirations are high. We believe there is no limit to what St Hilda’s students can achieve. St Hilda’s students have achieved fantastic GCSE and A-Level results. Over half of our students gained at least 1 A* or A grade at GCSE. We are above the national average for maths, English Language, and English Literature for the top grade 9. A-Level results were also a cause for celebration. We have a 99.9% pass rate and our students have been accepted into the top Russell Group universities. At St Hilda’s we are a family and we make decisions together. We looked carefully at the values we had already. The Church of England had also looked at their values for education and educating our young people. We adopted the Church of England’s values of education for Wisdom, Hope, Community, and Dignity as they fulfilled our values as a school. First of all, we had a PSHE session with all of our students across all year groups where they discussed the suggestion we should adopt the 4 values, but they were asked to think of a 5th value too. Overwhelmingly our students suggested the value of Equality to add to the 4 values. This sums up the students of St Hilda’s. Their acceptance of diversity and valuing individuality reflects the caliber of students and the family in which we live day today. St Hilda’s helps young people to develop intellectually and physically and to identify and develop the skills they need for life. Crucially, we provide a social and spiritual community in which the whole person can be educated. Modern western education still stands on the foundations laid by ancient monasteries. Our school motto laborare est orare recalls St Benedict’s statement: “work is prayer, and prayer is work”. It sums up the foundation of our school – hard work and prayer. Every school day begins with an act of worship, often led by pupils themselves. Communion services attended by the whole school are held three times a term. One of the highlights of the school year is the annual Carol Service for all pupils and open to families and friends which takes place in Liverpool Cathedral. Many St Hilda’s pupils already worship in a church when they come to school. Some pupils come from other world faiths or non-faith backgrounds. St Hilda insists that questions of faith have to be treated seriously, and with respect. The school provides a good environment for pupils to explore such matters thoughtfully and come to their own mature personal conviction. Religious Education is taught not simply as an academic subject but in the recognition that for many in school the Christian faith is a personal life commitment. The curriculum goes beyond the national framework – its emphasis is on high achievement and is designed to offer all pupils the opportunities, challenges, and encouragement to reach their full potential. The curriculum embraces all that is learned through school, whether it be in lessons, during collective worship, or part of informal learning within and beyond the school day. Key Stage 3 (Years 7 to 9) all pupils follow a broad, balanced course of study which includes all subjects within the National Curriculum, including two modern foreign languages. In Years 10 and 11 pupils prepare for GCSE. Every pupil must study English language, mathematics and science and the majority also take English literature and a modern foreign language. In addition, optional subjects are available. Alongside academic options, there are opportunities for pupils to choose a vocational course for the equivalent of one day a week. St Hilda’s prepares the majority of students for GCE A Levels but, in addition, BTEC subsidiary diplomas are offered. The school offers a broad range of A-Level subjects enabling all students to progress on to further study or work in their chosen career paths. As one of the four Sixth Forms that link together to form the Faiths Partnership, we can significantly extend the courses we offer to students. View full school

St. Helen's College Hillingdon is a leading co-educational independent prep school in North West London, with its Nursery and Kindergarten. We believe that St. Helen’s College has something different and special to offer the children who come to us. We have a well-deserved reputation for providing children with exceptional care and attention, for encouraging all-around achievement, and for academic excellence. We believe that we have something unique and special to offer the children who attend our school. St. Helen’s College is renowned for its family atmosphere and its warm, welcoming environment. We pride ourselves on the exceptional care and attention we give to each pupil, encouraging them to be the best they can be. Our pupils strive for and achieve excellence, not only academically but in their all-around endeavors too. St. Helen’s College children are known locally for their courtesy and manners, their impeccable behavior, and for their impressive achievements, not least in gaining places at top independent and grammar schools. At St. Helen’s College, we believe that giving children the very best education is built upon three principles: establishing lasting values, creating a harmonious environment, and inspiring the pursuit of excellence. Through challenging, stimulating, and creative teaching we aim to nurture the ability to think critically, creatively, and flexibly, to work both independently and collaboratively, to be self-motivated and to persevere, and thereby to achieve high levels of scholarship while developing a lifelong love of learning. We aim to encourage exploration, discover talent, nurture interest, and inspire achievement across the full range of creative, aesthetic, sporting, and academic domains. We place great emphasis on activities that bring out the best in children. We aim to instill core Christian values, to teach mindful self-awareness, to inspire virtue, confidence, imagination, and versatility, and thereby to nurture confident, compassionate, creative, communicative, self-aware, adaptable citizens and leaders of the future. We believe that children learn best when they feel safe, secure, and loved. Our staff is a second family to our pupils, treating them with love and respect. Pupils’ wellbeing is of paramount importance to us all. The very strong sense of harmony at St. Helen’s College embraces children, staff, and parents. Our strong ‘family’ ethos is nurtured by a culture in which staff and pupils enjoy relaxed and friendly but respectful relationships. Our low staff turnover means that teachers and children get to know each other well during their years together. Lasting friendships are formed here and generations of ex-pupils and their families continue to keep in touch with each other and with the school. Standards of courtesy and behavior are very high and are maintained by modeling and praising rather than by admonishing. At St. Helen’s College, children are encouraged to look beyond themselves, to see and appreciate others and the world around them, to reflect on their experiences, and to develop gratitude and a sense of wonder about themselves and the world. Our children are thoughtful and generous and many charitable activities are arranged each year – some by the teachers, many by the pupils themselves – through which the children can demonstrate their strong sense of service and awareness of the needs of others. St. Helen’s College has a Christian background, but we embrace all faiths and beliefs and welcome children from all traditions. Although assemblies are Christian-based, we also celebrate events from other faiths so that children gain an understanding and appreciation of different religions. Assemblies often include moments of stillness when children and teachers can become quiet and reflective. This can be a very unifying experience. Our innovative Personal Development program, including Mindfulness, Philosophy for Children, and Positive Psychology, nurtures self-awareness and teaches children to watch and understand their thoughts. Through feedback and in class, we teach meta-cognition, so that children grow to understand how they learn best. St. Helen’s College children think for themselves, understand their place in the world around them, anticipate others’ needs, and show confidence, determination, resilience, courage, love, empathy, and gratitude. Without exception, every child has huge potential and at St. Helen’s College, we help our children to fulfill their potential through guidance, encouragement, and challenge. As children become aware of their growing aptitudes and talents they develop the self-motivation and strength of character which is needed for success. It isn’t always easy and every child is different, so we take the greatest care to guide and support children as individuals so that all can experience the confidence and fulfillment of success.

The School is set in over 21 acres of beautiful grounds which provide the space to be physically active, to play, and to be creative. The nearby Northwood station (on the Metropolitan Line) provides easy access by Underground from the northwest and central London, and we are close to the Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire borders. Our excellent transport links and our coach services mean that St Helen’s attracts girls from a wide and varied catchment area. Our mission is to provide exceptional all-around education and to develop young women both through excellent academic teaching and by providing vibrant and exciting opportunities to extend their horizons, making the most of our first-class facilities.

This is not to be measured only by results in public examinations – though these are stunning - but by the improvement and progress made by each girl over her time with us. Our curriculum is carefully constructed to provide every girl with a balanced, academically rigorous, and ambitious education, and we review and evaluate it every year. The pastoral care provided at St Helen’s is outstanding and the girls are known, valued, and respected by the staff. Through the PSHCE program, tutor time, the care given by the Individual Needs Department, and our pastoral staff, we can guide, support, and advise the girls at each stage of their school careers. We are fortunate to enjoy a position at the heart of Northwood and as part of the wider Merchant Taylors’ family. We are seeking to bring this family together through the work of the Development Director and the exciting and innovative Futures Programme. Alongside us, throughout our journey of growth and development are our dedicated and professional Governing Council, our ambitious and skillful staff, the friends of the School including former Headmistresses, alumnae and staff, and a loyal and energetic parent body. In short, our purpose is to provide outstanding academic education and to develop young women through the provision of excellent teaching, first-class facilities, vibrant and exciting opportunities, and by embracing the enduring values of the School.

St Helen’s Catholic Primary School is a thriving school in the heart of Brixton. Our values and ethos are based on our aim to provide a high-quality education for your children rooted in Gospel values. We are a happy and enthusiastic community of learners who aim to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment in which each child can thrive and develop their interests and talents. The aims of our school take account of the fact that our school is a catholic school. This is both a title and a mission. The title conveys that our roots are embedded in the teachings of Jesus. The mission conveys that by being a catholic school we are active in Jesus' teaching. The distinctive nature of a catholic school is shown through five key areas. They are The search for excellence, as an integral part of the spiritual quest. The uniqueness of the individual, made in God’s image and loved by Him. The education of the whole person, based on the belief that the human and the divine are inseparable. The education of all, with the particular duty of care for the poor and the disadvantaged. Moral principles are put into practice within a Christian community. The curriculum consists of all activities planned by this catholic school to promote the intellectual, personal aesthetic, religious, moral, social, and physical development of our pupils to prepare them for the opportunities and responsibilities of everyday life. The curriculum is central to the process of education and thus of learning. The curriculum must therefore be a planned program of learning experiences. The aims of our curriculum are most likely to be met when the conditions for effective learning are created. Through careful planning and the deployment of available resources, we aim to: Equip children with the tools for learning, giving a high priority to numeracy, literacy, oracy, and investigation taught through a wide and practical range of experiences. Make learning purposeful, challenging, and pleasurable. Encourage children to be self-confident, self-disciplined, courteous, and cooperative. Develop in each child a positive self-image. Provide an emotionally secure environment. Recognize that activity and experience are the precursors of knowledge and skills. Encourage children to ask questions. Give children a sense of success.

Welcome to St Gregory's Catholic Primary School. We are a one form entry school with 250 pupils on the roll. We are a fully inclusive school with high expectations of all pupils. Mission Statement: “Living, Loving and Learning with Jesus”. Our aim as an inspirational Catholic school is to be a family inspired by Jesus, to be a safe, caring, and supportive community where everyone is valued and encouraged to reach their full potential. We will do this by living close to Jesus. Being a community that loves learning and provides challenging opportunities for all to grow and develop. Developing a partnership between home, school, parish, and the wider community. Personal, Social, Health, and Economic Education enables children to become healthy, independent, and responsible members of society. We encourage our pupils to play a positive role in contributing to the life of the school and the wider community. In doing so we help to develop their self-worth and enable them to work well with others and become increasingly responsible for their learning. The children reflect on their experiences and understand how they are developing personally and socially, tackling many of the social, moral, cultural, and spiritual issues that are part of growing up. We teach the children how society is organized and governed. We provide opportunities for the children to find out about the main political and social institutions that may affect their lives and about their responsibilities, rights, and duties as individuals and members of communities. We ensure they experience the process of democracy in school through the school council. The children learn to appreciate what it means to be a positive member of a diverse and multicultural society. The Government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy, and these values were reiterated in 2014. At St Gregory’s these values are reinforced regularly and in the following ways. These values are Democracy, The Rule of Law, Individual Liberty, Mutual Respect, Tolerance of those of Different Faiths and Beliefs. At St. Gregory's we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage framework (EYFS). This curriculum is based upon four themes and principles. Unique Child - Every child is a unique child who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident, and self-assured. Positive Relationships - Children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships. Enabling Environments - Children learn and develop well in enabling environments, in which their experiences respond to their individual needs and there is a strong partnership between practitioners and parents, and carers. Learning and Development - Children develop and learn in different ways. The framework covers the education and care of all children in early years provision, including children with special educational needs and disabilities. There are 3 prime areas and 4 specific areas of learning in the Foundation Stage framework curriculum. In the 2 Year and 3-4-Year-old Nursery provision, the focus is on the 3 Prime areas. Both settings are equipped with both age and developmentally appropriate resources to meet the individual children's. In Reception, the focus begins to be on the Specific areas once the Prime areas are embedded. In all EYFS settings within St Gregory's, children spend their time within a free flow enabling environment between indoors and outdoors, and through both adult-led and child-initiated activities.

Welcome to our school. We give you an introduction to the life of our happy and successful school, which has been serving the Catholic community in Harrow and Brent for well over 50 years, providing a full range of academic courses for girls and boys of all abilities. We are firmly committed to our Mission Statement “Pro Deo - For God the Best and the Greatest”. Consequently, we have an unrelenting focus on raising standards in all aspects of school life (spiritual, moral, academic, and social) so that each student can develop their God-given talents to the full and be the best they can be. We take great care to make sure that students build on their prior attainment when they join us in year 7 and ensure that this process continues as they progress through the school into the Sixth Form (so that our girls and boys work to their full ability). There is also an enhanced provision for the Gifted and Talented and an extensive Extra-Curricular program. In short, we believe, a thriving institution and a real Catholic community with over 1000 girls and boys. We hope that we live this out in all that we do and say. Any mission statement needs to be a living, breathing document and ours has encouraged us to ask some important questions. In particular "what is our reason for existing?" and "what is our shared sense of purpose and identity?" As a Catholic school, we have a specific mission that goes beyond providing an outstanding education. As a faith-filled community, every student is invited to connect with the deeper call to be converted and as Catherine of Siena said to 'become all who God meant us to be. St. Gregory’s Catholic Science College aims to provide an education of the highest quality for all our pupils in all of the key stages. The curriculum is broad and balanced and develops pupils’ knowledge, understanding, skills, and talents so that they not only become successful learners but are fully prepared for their future lives. All our pupils follow the core subjects of the National Curriculum from years 7 – 9: English, Mathematics, Science, and Religious Education. Pupils also study foundation subjects in Art and Design, Citizenship, Computer Science, Design & Technology, French, Geography, History, Music, PSHE, Physical Education, and SRE. During Year 9, each pupil is supported in choosing a Key Stage 4 curriculum pathway that is most appropriate for their ability. Our pupils are carefully prepared for making their choice with appropriate advice. All our pupils must continue with a broad and balanced curriculum at Key Stage 4 and in designing the Key Stage 4 curriculum we aim to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum and also provide an inclusive curriculum for our pupils. Most pupils will have the opportunity to study at least eight or more GCSEs in Years 10 and 11. St Gregory’s has a strong academic reputation at Key Stage 5. We have high expectations of all our students in terms of their commitment to their studies and their self-motivation. We match this with a high level of support from tracking progress to intervention, mentoring, and supervised study sessions. As a Catholic secondary school, St Gregory’s promotes values such as "mutual understanding and respect" and equality between girls and boys supporting ideals such as democracy, respect, and tolerance for all races, cultures, faiths, and beliefs. This is lived out in the programs of School Assemblies, Religious Education, English, Geography, History, PSHE, and Citizenship classes. The following British Values are covered in the curriculum. Prayer and worship are central to the daily life of our school, through class prayer, assemblies, and staff prayer. The Gospel call to justice and service is made explicit in assemblies, RE lessons, and across the Curriculum. Students are given considerable time to be reflective about their own religious beliefs that inform their perspectives on life and their interest in and respect for different people’s faiths, feelings, and values, evidenced in the study of Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, and Hindu faiths through KS3, KS4, and KS5. In both the RE and PSHE programs, students study other faiths and learn about empathy, tolerance, and understanding of people from different faith backgrounds. Students display a sense of enjoyment and fascination in learning about themselves, others, and the world around them. They have the opportunity to produce a faith journey every year to analyze how events and milestones have affected their faith. Students are encouraged to write and share their prayers in Form time throughout the year. Students recognize the difference between right and wrong and readily apply this to their own lives. Moral education permeates the entire curriculum and is mapped in departmental schemes of work. As result students are taught about the difference between right and wrong in all lessons. Students are encouraged to act out their lives under the Gospel values and are encouraged to forgive those who have done something wrong. Assemblies also provide an opportunity for students to reflect upon moral and ethical issues and to understand how their behavior and actions have consequences. View full school

St Giles is a fantastic school full of amazing children and dedicated staff. Children flourish in our highly specialist environment with education and health professionals working closely together to meet each child’s very complex needs. We teach through a creative curriculum full of exciting activities and experiences. Learning is fun and all children make great progress, whatever their starting points. At St Giles’ we are passionate about learning. Our school community includes and values everyone, working together to achieve in a supportive, caring, and professional way. Our enthusiasm and positive energy make St Giles’ a truly happy and vibrant place to be. St Giles School believes that spiritual, moral, social, and cultural education (SMSC) is vital for all pupils. It is experienced in formal and informal settings and is reflected in every aspect of school life. British values are promoted through the school’s SMSC curriculum. At St Giles, the opportunity to share, experience, and promote British Values is primarily developed through the Spiritual, Moral, Social, and Cultural Curriculum. This curriculum is taught through the school’s ethos, its systems and structures, and specific subjects including Religious Education, Personal Social and Health Education, and Citizenship. The opportunity to share, experience, and promote British Values is not taught in isolation but is reflected in the rich and creative curriculum provided to pupils at St Giles as well as through the ethos and vision which is at the center of the school experience. Many of our pupils are reliant on others to support them to maintain their health and well-being. Our school policies and ethos reflect the importance of safeguarding pupils, listening to pupils, and creating the opportunity to make choices and have their rights promoted. In addition to promoting the voice and personal freedoms of pupils, the school also creates a safe and secure environment. This enables pupils to be as independent as possible and make choices that demonstrate an appropriate awareness of their own needs and safety requirements. The school works with pupils to support them in developing their communication and in addition works with parents/carers and the wider community to increase understanding and awareness of pupils’ voices. The e-safety policy and Personal, Social, and Health Curriculum are implemented to guide pupils in making choices that maintain their safety. The school develops pupils’ understanding of how to make safe choices and promotes improved physical access so that all pupils can participate safely. This includes developing wheelchair skills, promoting independent home-school travel, and identifying ways to improve physical access both in school and in the wider community. Our school community is built on the importance of respect for ourselves and others which is reflected in how all aspects of the school community work together. Our school environment, curriculum, and school systems and structures are designed to promote respect for all and we are continually considering ways to further develop this. The organization of the school day, the structure of assemblies, provision of resources, accessibility of the environment as well as the promotion of independence and communication all are designed to further enhance mutual respect. Our school actively promotes mutual respect with particular emphasis on understanding difference and the needs of people with disability which is supported through our engagement with other schools and the wider community. Our school community is extremely diverse and our school life supports and enhances opportunities to experience and share diversity and challenge prejudices. Through the curriculum, school ethos, and school structures, the school promotes tolerance and encourages discussion and debate. This supports pupils and the school community in understanding the importance of tolerance and recognizing prejudice.

Our Academy fosters a strong sense of belonging both to the school community and as a citizen of Britain with the responsibilities that citizenship brings. Our Academy has an Equality Policy, which guarantees that there will be no discrimination against any individual or group, regardless of faith, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, political or financial status, or similar. It seeks to serve all so that everyone feels a sense of belonging. In response to the Department for Education’s guidance on promoting British values in schools, the Academy seeks to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain and are members of society who treat others with respect and tolerance, regardless of background. The ‘Prevent strategy sets out these values and St George’s must ‘actively promote’ the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs together with a clear strategy for embedding these values.
