British Values

"Everyone to Excel through Pride and Ambition"

Montem is a large diverse community which serves families from all over the world. Through our personal development programmes, we aim to promote British Values and teach our pupils how to respect each other, to understand that differences are positive and that our unique differences make us who we are. Through our inclusive environment, formal lessons, workshops and assemblies, we strive to make our pupils responsible, respectful citizens who thrive together and celebrate diversity.

 

Whole School

Democracy in Action

At Montem Academy, we encourage pupils to play an active role in developing an understanding of democracy in action. Pupils participate in weekly Votes for Schools activities. Votes for Schools is an award-winning platform that gives our pupils a voice on the issues that affect them the most, whilst embedding SMSC, British Values and Prevent across the school.

KS2

Christmas Choir

Our Key Stage 2 Choir will be provided with the opportunity to sing at a number of events including singing at Windsor Castle and a Local Home for the Elderly. We aim to provide our pupils with experiences which develops them into citizens that give back to the community and opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests.

Place of Worship Visits: Year 6: Mosque

Year 5: Synagogue

Year 4: Gurdwara

Year 3: Church

Year 2: Mandir

At Montem, we believe it is vital that pupils gain an understanding and an appreciation of the faiths found within our community. Through our programme of visiting Religious Buildings, our pupils not only gain an understanding of the faith, but an appreciation for the beautiful architecture of these buildings and the symbols and artefacts found within these different settings.

We believe that all pupils should show mutual respect and tolerance to those with different faiths and beliefs and celebrate the difference within and outside of our school community.

Year 5 & 6

The programme is designed to challenge our pupils and develop the following leadership fundamentals; social , personal, creative and cognitive skills
