Vision:
At Sandy Hill Academy, we aim to ensure that all children leave their primary education well equipped with an understanding of our country's fundamental Values. We encourage children to have the courage and confidence to question, challenge and form opinions on current news stories and societal issues as well as educating them about the history of our country. We believe that they are the voices of the future and it is our responsibility, as educators, to provide them with the knowledge, skills and sense of self-worth to make positive changes for the future.
British Values Expectations:
Each year at Sandy Hill Academy, the fundamental British Values are taught implicitly and explicitly through the delivery of our curriculum. The values we teach are: Democracy, Rule of Law, Tolerance, Mutual Respect and Individual Liberty.
Cultural Capital
There are many ways in which we develop children’s cultural capital at Sandy Hill Academy. We believe it is important for them to be exposed to a variety of experiences, both linked with the National Curriculum subjects, and the wider world in order to develop aspiration goals for their futures and succeed in life. Pupils will leave Sandy Hill as educated citizens with an appreciation of human creativity and achievement. Please see the gallery of photos below demonstrating some of the ways in which we promote the importance of developing cultural capital through our curriculum. See each curriculum subject area for a breakdown.
