Democracy

- We have a School Council where each member is elected by the pupils. This is used as an opportunity to promote and teach respect about democracy and the electoral process.
- We encourage Volunteers and community work in and out of school. The School Council represent the school in decision making for supporting local and national charities.
- The beginnings of democracy are taught through historical research of Ancient Greek/Roman civilisations, changing the role of British monarchs and the United Nations Rights of the Child.
- Democracy is also promoted through additional PSHE lessons, circle times, assemblies and voting in lessons, such as which book to read or what behaviour chart to use.
