• We have an elected School Council. This is      used as an opportunity to promote and teach about democracy and the electoral process. 
• Children are encouraged to vote in small ways too, for example for a story to be read at the end of the day.
• We encourage volunteerism in and out of school. This includes things like raising money for local and national charities.
• Democracy is also promoted through additional PSHE lessons and assemblies. For example, a recent assembly used the Scottish Referendum as a context for ‘choices’.

Tolerance of different faiths and beliefs

• As a Christian school we welcome children of all faiths.

•  Tolerance of different faiths and beliefs is promoted through the Locally Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education. Children learn about different religions, their beliefs, places of worship and festivals. The children’s work is often displayed in the classroom.
• This is supplemented by assemblies (class, phase and whole school), which although mainly Christian in nature, also mark and celebrate significant religious festivals such as Ramadan, Diwali and the Jewish and Islamic New Years.
• Visits are made by local religious leaders and children have the opportunity to visit places of worship.
