The Rule of Law

The importance of laws and rules, whether they are those that govern the class, the school or the country, are consistently reinforced throughout every school day. Individual classes display their class rules that have been collaboratively agreed upon and developed. Each class member agrees and signs the rules as part of a class contract.

Pupils are taught the value and reasons behind laws/rules: that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves and the consequences when laws/rules are broken. Visits from authorities such as the police and the fire service are a regular part of whole-school assemblies which helps to reinforce this message.
