What does it mean to be British?

This five-lesson Year 3 scheme of work introduces learners to the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance. Learners explore what these values mean in practice and how they contribute to fair, safe and inclusive communities.
Learners consider how these values shape everyday life in schools and communities, exploring democracy and decision-making, why rules and laws matter, individual freedoms and how to show respect and tolerance towards people with different beliefs and faiths. The scheme supports learners to develop an understanding of their place within society and how shared values can help communities work well together.
