Here at Carleton High School we recognise the multi-faith and multi-cultural make-up of the United Kingdom, and we believe that it is important that we promote the inclusive values which make Britain great. We welcome all pupils entitled to education under British law, whatever their faith, ethnicity, political viewpoints, sexuality or gender.
We seek to promote British values at Carleton High School through our ‘Learning 4 Life’ curriculum. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural education are embedded throughout our curriculum and support the development of the ‘whole child’. Our information concerning specific aspects of British values are described below.
Democracy is consistently reinforced. We use democratic processes for some key decisions, such as holding elections for Head Boy and Head Girl. Democracy is explored further in subjects including History and RE, as well as in form time, drop down days and assemblies. Student Voice and Head of School breakfasts ensure that our students feel part of decisions taken within the school.
We encourage students to become good and valued citizens. We have created an environment where all students feel safe and where choices and freedoms are encouraged within the realms of the school’s expectations. We offer a range of extracurricular activities which students have the freedom to choose from, based on their interests, so that individual talents can be built upon. Carleton High School also participates in a number of charity fundraisers each year.
