At UCS, we are dedicated to actively promoting the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance for different faiths and beliefs. These principles are woven throughout our curriculum, particularly through our innovative Elements Curriculum Offer, and are a focal point in all our assemblies, ensuring impartiality and inclusivity. 

Our commitment extends beyond curriculum integration; we invest in continuous professional development for our teachers, empowering them to embed British Values in their teaching strategies. Each week, our students engage in registration sessions and assemblies centered around themes that reinforce these values, alongside topics in RSE and PHSE, fostering a well-rounded, respectful, and informed student community.
