Promoting British Values
Welcome to Henley Green's British Values page.
The Government emphasises that schools are required to ensure that key ‘British Values’ are taught in all UK schools. At Henley Green Primary School we are committed to serve our community and to actively promote these British Values.
- Democracy
- The Rule of Law
- Mutual Respect
- Individual Liberty
- Tolerance of others with different faiths and beliefs
Along with the rest of the country, Henley Green celebrated VE 80 on Thursday 8th May. As part of this celebration we had 2 exciting competitions for all children to enter.
We had design a VE day pudding competition. This was the winning entry. Mrs Rouse was our judge and kindly helped Eva Mai our winner make this fantastic cake.
We also had, design a VE poster competition.
These were the amazing winning posters for the VE 80 competition.

Meet Henley Green's Student Council Representatives.
What do the School Council do?
The school council meet regularly with Mrs Bond to talk about issues arising in their classes and in the whole school. They share fund raising ideas and organise the activities. They have organised Christmas parties, a cake sale and have been around the school gathering the views of children. Class representatives are the voice of all of the children. They have plans for a big bike ride before the end of term.
The British Value: Democracy
All classes voted for their school council representatives in each class.
We thought about what democracy means and how this is one of the British Values. All the children were able to take part in a ballot to vote for their representative.

Year 6's visit from the Magistrates
This year, the role play was about Cyberbullying. A young lad was in court accused of sending threatening messages to another boy on his phone. We heard the legal arguments from both sides and the class was given the opportunity to decide if the defendant was guilty or not guilty. The deciding panel left the classroom to discuss it and came up with a guilty verdict.
Before the role play, the magistrates explained how a court worked and the roles of the people who work in one. The children were very interested in learning about them and, for example, the role of the usher who gave instructions in court. They also learned about the consequences that can be given for breaking the law, illegal drugs and how e-scooters are illegal on pavements and roads.
Year 6 really enjoyed this experience.
