Inclusion and Cultural Diversity

British Values

The curriculum at Cranbourne actively promotes fundamental ‘British’ values. This includes the values of democracy, the rule of the law, individual liberty and mutual respect/ tolerance for others.

At Cranbourne each of these values are reinforced daily in the following ways:

Democracy
Students have a say in school life through mock elections, the student council, as British values ambassadors and being involved in the selection process of a head boy, head girl and prefects.

Individual liberty
Students are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe environment and understanding that they are accountable for those choices.

Mutual respect and tolerance
Mutual respect is an integral part of the culture at Cranbourne. For example, our RS, Modern languages and English lessons teach students to respect the values and beliefs of others, which extends to the whole school philosophy.

Rule of law
Pupils understand the difference between right and wrong. They recognise that there are consequences for every choice that they make and apply this to their lives inside and outside of school by respecting English civil and criminal law.

Cultural Diversity Evening

Our annual Cultural Diversity Evening is a celebration of inclusion, diversity and a chance to share our cultural heritage with the Cranbourne Community.

Students put on a range of different performances, including poetry in their home languages, traditional dances, songs and more.

Last year we were honoured to be joined by special guests Mamozi, a drummer based in Czech Republic, Obert Dube, a poet from Zimbabwe and Sisa Semkosi, a singing and dancing act.
