British Values

🇬🇧 Promoting British Values at Purley CE Primary School

Our British Values

Democracy • The Rule of Law • Individual Liberty • Mutual Respect • Tolerance of Different Faiths & Beliefs

At Purley CE Primary School, British Values guide how we learn, grow and care for one another, rooted in our Christian vision: “Let all that you do be done in love.” – 1 Corinthians 16:14.
This vision, together with our school motto “Learn to love, love to learn,” shapes a community where every child is nurtured to flourish in a loving and inclusive environment. Through leadership opportunities, collective worship and the No Outsiders programme, we teach children to love, respect and value every person.”
