I know many colleagues are reticent to tackle this subject but the British Values Project took a refreshingly critical look at Fundamental British Values, problematising each one and bringing out the kinds of tensions and negotiations necessary to resolve conflicting values in a democratic society.
Paul Moore-Bridger, King Edward's School Birmingham
It was a very well thought out session and made me question my understanding of what British Values really are. Overall, it was a great experience.
Student, Queen Mary's Grammar School
We had the pleasure of a full day of workshops exploring British Values with our student council. Joe expertly probed students to examine British Values, breaking down complex concepts to ensure all students were able to access the workshop while providing stretch and challenge for others.
Jordan Kennison, Head of PSHE, Oasis Coulsdon Academy
The session was inclusive, meaningful and engaging. I'd highly recommend inviting Joe to speak at your school - we'd love to have Joe back in the near future. One of the young people when asked what they'd change said 'nothing, it was perfect'.
Lydia Wright, Pennine House Hospital School
The values were explained in a way which made them simple to understand. The stories really made me see how these values happen in real life. I could see that values are not always easy or simple.
Pupils, Leyburn Primary School
It was great having you in - the teachers enjoyed how you were able to break down the concepts using scenarios that all students could relate to. The pace and level of challenge was accurate and very positive.
Latanya Rennalls, Stationers Crown Woods Academy
The content and delivery were both excellent ... The girls developed a much deeper understanding and appreciation of Fundamental British Values and staff came away significantly more confident in their ability to deliver Fundamental British Values lessons.
Philippa Murray, Truro High School for Girls
I liked everything about the session. Learning about values is so relevant. I went home and watched the news and thought ‘this is literally what we were learning about!’
Student, Hampshire Inclusion College
“This thought-provoking lesson gave students the opportunity to think about British Culture and gave them scenarios to discuss which was fantastic! The session allowed time for self-reflection and for students to question they values they live by which was excellent”
Teacher, St Marylebone's School
I thoroughly enjoyed your online training on British Values, it was so engaging and interesting. I have come away very inspired, and keen to share these ideas in our school, thank you!
