At The Jane Lane School we work together to prepare children for life in modern Britain. We ensure that the fundamental British Values are introduced, discussed and lived out throughout our school. All curriculum areas provide a vehicle for furthering understanding of these concepts. Children embrace these concepts with enthusiasm and, where appropriate, demonstrate a good understanding of the role these play within their own lives. The school makes considerable efforts to ensure children have exposure to a wide experience beyond their local community during which these concepts are shown, through for example, sporting events, a range of visits and use of outdoor education centres. At The Jane Lane School we embrace and celebrate our differences.
