Day to day British Values
At The Grange Primary School we value the diverse ethnic backgrounds of all pupils and families and undertake a variety of events and lessons across the whole curriculum to celebrate these. We have found this approach to be enriching for all parties as it teaches tolerance and respect for the differences in our community and the wider world. This is underpinned by a range of curriculum topics which have strong links to the many facets of modern Britain.
