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 students 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 curriculum, assemblies and deeper learning days.
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 Headteacher 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.
We actively support the view that all students should be protected from radicalisation and extremism. Our approach is in line with the government’s CONTEST (counter-terrorist) and PREVENT (stopping people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism) strategies.
Messages of hate can take many forms and extremist groups use them to recruit young people. Parents can find more information, including advice on protecting their children, by clicking here.
