PSHE & Citizenship

Our Values at Oakfield Primary School

At Oakfield Primary School, we are committed to helping our pupils grow into respectful, responsible, and well-rounded individuals. Our curriculum, assemblies, circle time, and PSHE lessons support children in developing key values that prepare them for life in the wider world.

We aim to:
✅ Help children understand the importance of kindness, respect, and tolerance.
✅ Teach fairness, responsibility, and the importance of following rules.

How We Embed Our Values in School

We provide opportunities for pupils to discuss, reflect on, and apply these values in real-life situations.

Our pupils learn to:

• Appreciate differences – Recognize and respect that everyone has their own beliefs and values.

• Take pride in who they are – Celebrate individuality and feel a sense of belonging.

Encouraging Leadership and Pupil Voice

We believe every child should have the opportunity to share their opinions and take on leadership roles.

Through our School Council and Eco Council, pupils:

• Learn about democracy by voting for representatives.
