Democracy Children have the opportunity to have their voices heard through our School Council, who meet regularly. The Rule of Law The importance of laws - those which govern the child's class, school, or country - are reinforced through natural day-to-day interactions and school assemblies. Children are taught the value and reasons behind laws and rules: that they govern and protect us. A key message is that we are all responsible for our own behaviour and choices, and that there are consequences (positive and negative) resulting from these, and that they help to keep us all safe.

Individual Liberty

Children are encouraged to make choices and take safe risks, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. We teach them to take responsibility and explore freedoms granted by their own independence; and that this empowers them. Children are given the freedom to make choices, and taught how to challenge themselves in the right way, at the right time.

Mutual Respect

Respect is one of the core values in our Codnor Stars. Children take part in discussions and assemblies related to what this means and how it is shown. Posters around the school promote respect for others and this is reiterated through our classroom and learning rules, as well as our behaviour policy.

Tolerance and Respect for Those of Different Faiths and Beliefs

Support our Community is one of the core values in our Codnor Stars. 'Community' is explored in its widest sense - the small community at home; our school, church and local community; and the global community. Key messages emphasise the link between tolerance/respect and a happy, safe community. Children's understanding of their place in a culturally diverse society is part of our Curriculum Intent. Assemblies and discussions involving prejudices and prejudice-based bullying are followed and supported by learning in RE and PSHE.
