British Values in real life context

(2)
Aimed at KS4, this look at British Values and the way they impact on everyday decisions and actions can easily be differentiated to suit KS3 or KS5. As British Values becoming an increasingly important part of the OFSTED framework, a session like this is really useful to keep up your sleeves! When I had 8 Year 10 tutor groups off timetable as a drop down day, 1 group said this session was the highlight of the day. Another said 'Good information given. Good videos shown. Good open discussion sections.'
