Individual Liberty
Everyone has the right to be themselves and express opinions.
We respect each other’s differences.
Good Practice
- Promote freedom of choice and right to express opinions and beliefs
- Encouraged to be independent learners
- Teaching about the protected characteristics and an individual’s right to live as they choose within the boundaries of the law.
Evidence at Berridge
- Pupils actively making choices about their learning, meal choices, what games they will play at lunchtime, who they will play with
- Pupil voice interviews enable pupils to give their opinions and views on their experiences of school life
- Pupils given the opportunities to work collaboratively within their own year groups
- Pupils aware that their personal identity is unique and is a result of all the different groups they belong to and identify with- such as their family, their school community, their faith, ethnicity
- Pupils confident to contribute and share opinions in debates and discussions
- Pupils challenging stereotypes
- Respect, Resilience and reflection – values through which pupils can assess their behaviour and attitudes to daily school life.
