At Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic First School Academy we actively uphold and promote British Values as directed under new Ofsted guidance, September 2014:
‘ensure that they and the school promote tolerance of and respect for people of all faiths (or those of no faith), cultures and lifestyles; and support and help, through their words, actions and influence within the school and more widely in the community, to prepare children and young people positively for life in modern Britain’.
As a Catholic School community we actively live out our school motto ‘Love God Love One Another’ through the promotion of the Gospel Values and Virtues. We firmly believe that they sit alongside Modern British values and help our students to be well-rounded and considerate and responsible citizens.
We follow the example of the Good Samaritan where we are called to love and care for our neighbour.
We ensure that through our school vision, ethos, curriculum and teaching we prepare the children positively for a life in modern Britain and fully promote respect and tolerance for all cultures, faiths and lifestyles.
