Larkfields Junior School
| About Us |
Larkfields is a vibrant Junior School with our Take Care Values at the heart of everything we do. The school takes great pride in the possibilities we provide for our children, not only the high expectations academically, but the wide range of other opportunities we give to ensure our children can be the very best version of themselves. The 6 key drivers we promote in school are crucial to this, these include giving the children the chance to develop and practice being an independent learner, a creative thinker, a team worker, an effective participator, a self-manager and reflective learner.

Our British Larkfields Values
The DfE have recently reinforced the need “to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.” The government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy, and these values have been reiterated by the Prime Minister this year. We aim to actively promote British values in schools to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.
The Key Values are:
• Democracy
• Rule of law
• Individual liberty
• Mutual respect
We at Larkfields Juniors believe it is important to share with all our community our core values from our Take Care Charter. These Larkfields values are reinforced regularly within the curriculum and in extracurricular activities in the following ways.
Tolerance of those of Different Faiths and Beliefs:
This is achieved through enhancing pupils understanding of their place in a culturally diverse society and by giving them opportunities to experience such diversity. Assemblies and discussions involving prejudices and prejudice-based bullying have been reinforced and supported by learning in RE and PSHE and throughout the curriculum. Members of different faiths or religions are encouraged to share their knowledge and be our local experts to enhance learning within the classroom and across the school. We take as many opportunities as possible to visit places of worship to reinforce our learning and develop our understanding of faiths
Democracy:
Democracy is ever present within Larkfields Juniors. Pupils have the opportunity to have their voices heard through our School Council and our Take Care representatives. Our Take Care Ambassadors choose individuals who have followed our Charter particularly well during a teaching session. Individual pupils can nominate others for dojos for outstanding behaviour or learning. Local and National events such as elections and the role of the government are regularly discussed with our children.
