Developing British Values and Preventing Radicalisation
This document aims to summarise how, as a school community, Haydock High School is helping our students to develop “British values” and how we work to prevent radicalisation in a range of areas.
Upholding and developing British Values
As a community we have determined “British Values” to be:
(Source: DfE Press Release 23.6.14)As a school we aim to develop and nurture these by:
An extra-curricular programme, that can be found here, which provides opportunities outside the curriculum to develop individual talent and contribute to school life
In addition, please see bullet points below relating to how we aim to eliminate the possibility of Radicalisation as many of these actions/steps also assist us in affirming and reinforcing core “British Values” of tolerance, respect and the rule of law.
Citizens who feel respected, connected and valued within a community are far less likely to be at risk of radicalisation. At Haydock High School our mission is to care for and support
each student so that they fulfil their potential, make outstanding progress and become successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens. We will be relentless in developing our skills, and work with our parents, Governors and wider partners to ensure that every student is known, contributes to our community and is
fulfilled in achieving their ambitions.
The pace of curriculum change continues to accelerate, for example introducing a more flexible Key Stage 3. Our constant planning offers confidence for successful delivery and assessment of these areas.
Over the last few years we have been successful in achieving Sportsmark, Investors in People, Artsmark, Careers and Guidance and Healthy Schools accreditation. We were also awarded the accolade of a ‘Get Set’ school in the run-up to the 2012 London Olympics.
We take great pride in serving the needs of our students and are dedicated to each and every one of them making outstanding progress in their time at our school. To this end, we undertake a significant commitment and interest in them as individuals so that we can most effectively meet their specific needs. This care for their achievement means we have the very highest expectations of their attendance, respect for the school and our ethos, behaviour, happiness, fulfilment and academic progress.
