Rule of Law

Rules help us to stay safe and fair.

They apply to everyone, no matter who they are.

Good Practice

  • Teach the value and reasons behind the laws, that govern and protect us and the consequences when laws are broken
  • Understand that there are laws and rules to keep us safe and happy
  • Reinforce the importance of Laws, whether they be those that govern the class, the school, or the country.
  • Encouraging pupils to take responsibility for their actions
  • Evidence at Berridge
  • Pupils following the school rules
  • Understand the needs for laws and rules – and follow them such as in PE, there are safety rules but also rules within team sports
  • Use of Reflection Sheets to encourage children's accountability for their actions
  • Pupils know right from wrong
  • RE units of work and Identity, Equality and society units of work cover related concepts
  • Visits from outside speakers from local faith leaders to Local Community Police Officers
