Our Aims

• To ensure that each child in our school develops valuable life skills including high personal standards, self-reliance and self-esteem and leaves with rich memories of their time at Broadway First School.
• To encourage and support parents to participate and celebrate in their children’s education.
• To work openly and collaboratively with the community and other educational settings to enhance our school’s strategic future.

Our Values

Respect - We respect ourselves, others and our environment and embrace the diversity in individuals and the community; we want everyone to flourish.

Togetherness - We look at how children, parents, staff and local community can work together as one team.

Ambition - We are ambitious for everyone no matter where they are on their journey or what their specific needs are to be confident they can achieve their very best.

Pride - We want everyone in the school community to be proud of who they are, what they are doing and what they achieve.

Resilience - We strive to overcome challenges as we know they are part of the learning process; we’ll ensure everyone has the encouragement and wellbeing support to do this.

We expect every member of our school community to embody our values in their daily interactions. Each half term, we focus on a different value, and we encourage children to demonstrate these values through their behaviour. Weekly certificates are awarded to celebrate their successes.

Our curriculum is designed to integrate these values, providing regular opportunities for children to exhibit them both in and out of school.

British Values

At Broadway First School, we aim to prepare our pupils to become global citizens and to live life in modern Britain. We do this by encouraging our children to embrace the fundamental British Values which we actively promote in school.

What are British Values?

The four British values are as follows:

• Democracy
• Rule of Law
• Individual Liberty
• Mutual Respect and Tolerance of those with Different Faiths and Beliefs

Democracy - Children must understand how democracy has shaped modern Britain, how the democratic process has evolved through history and how the lack of democracy can affect people globally. This relates to pupil voice being heard and valued in school and encouraging children to become involved in decision-making processes where possible. For example, children chose to acquire our fish tank on display in the corridor and regularly vote on class representatives, such as the School Council. 

Rule of Law - This value ensures that children have an understanding of the importance of criminal and civil law in Britain. It relates to children understanding the difference between right and wrong and that there are consequences for their actions. Respect for those who uphold and enforce the law is encouraged, as is an understanding that rules and laws are in place to protect us as individuals. Children develop their understanding by realising that our own school rules ensure that it is a safe place to learn. 

Individual Liberty - This concerns the right to freedom. This includes the freedom of speech, the freedom to make choices and decisions about ourselves and the freedom to express our own opinions. It also acknowledges that with this freedom comes personal responsibility; the responsibility that we won’t hurt or offend others with our thoughts and actions. Children at Broadway are empowered to take responsibility for their own actions and words and make their own good choices. 

Mutual Tolerance and Respect of those with Different Faiths and Beliefs - This is rooted in an acceptance that modern Britain is diverse, is multi-cultural and multi-faith. It is an acknowledgement that no religion or belief is right or wrong and that we should all be valued as human beings and treated with equal respect and consideration. This includes respect regardless of gender, religion, ethnicity, disability or sexual orientation. Through our curriculum, we seek to provide children with the knowledge and enrichment opportunities to experience a range of religions and cultural differences.
