"Being The Best That We Can Be".

At Hauxton, we encourage and support all staff and children to be the best that they can be at all times.  We value effort as well as attainment and insist that staff model the same high expectations for manners, respect and behaviour that we ask of our children. 

 How We Promote British values at Hauxton Primary School

Democracy
UN CRC Article 12: Children have the right to say what they think should happen, when adults are making decisions
that affect them, and to have their opinions taken into account.
We have a School Council. Each class elects two representatives annually after hearing each candidate speak. These children listen
to the opinions and ideas of their class and feedback to the Headteacher
We encourage volunteering in and out of school. This includes Play leaders, lunch helpers, School Travel Ambassadors and also raising
money for local and national charities.
The beginnings of democracy are taught through historical research of the Ancient Greece civilisation.
 Democracy is also promoted through additional PSHE lessons and assemblies.
Children are taught about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and learn to respect their rights and the rights of others.

anyone else who looks after them.
