The way we do this is to plan meaningful opportunities for the children to apply their learning in different contexts both in and out of school.

Spiritual Experiences
We believe that our school curriculum should provide pupils with a range of experiences that deepen their spiritual understanding of their school and their community. Working in partnership with local clergy and faith organisations, we deliver the program both in and out of school across KS2.
In Year 4, this involves the children performing in a place of worship at St. George's Church Hilldene. Click here to see our 2017 Christmas performance.
Understanding of the Rule of Law

Understanding of the Rule of Law
In Year 4, pupils learn about the Magna Carta:
- how it came about
- the influence it has had on modern systems of Government
- the link to wider human rights and how they are enshrined in law
Tolerance of those of Different Faiths and Beliefs
Broadford is situated in an area which is becoming ever more culturally diverse; therefore we place a great emphasis on promoting diversity with the children. Assemblies are regularly planned to address this issue either directly or through the inclusion of stories and celebrations from a variety of faiths and cultures. Our RE & PSHCE teaching reinforce this. Members of different faiths or religions are encouraged to share their knowledge to enhance learning within classes and the school. Children visit places of worship that are important to different faiths.
'It's interesting when we find out about different places and people. I loved having the opportunity to share my faith with the rest of the year group. I got to show them my Rakhi and teach them all about Raksha Bandhan, as well as other Hindu beliefs '. Adi Kaushal (Birch class)
At Broadford we will actively challenge pupils, staff or parents expressing opinions contrary to fundamental British Values, including ‘extremist’ views.
In Year 4 the children will have the chance to visit a Hindu temple.
We believe that it is vital our children learn that their behaviours have an effect on their own rights and those of others. All members of the school community treat each other with respect. Our volunteering programme for Broadford, Team Broadford, makes it quick and easy for pupils to give their time, find volunteer opportunities and do great things for their school community.
Whether it’s cleaning up the environment or volunteering at one of our events, Team Broadford mobilises the community spirit and enthusiasm of our pupils to make a difference.
Building on all the work that has already taken place in improving the school, Team Broadford focuses efforts on areas where volunteers can make the biggest impact.
These areas are: Eco Heroes, Lunch Warriors, Play Leaders, Pupil Leaders, Reading Champions & Event Support.
'I love to volunteer at lunch time with the Lunch Warriors! I get to help the Reception children and teach them how to play fairly.' Gracee- May (Ash Class)
In the annual Poppy Day celebrations pupils purchase poppies, create artwork that commemorates WW1 and a minute's silence is held in specially created assemblies for the school.

Financial Skills Curriculum
To participate fully in life, we believe everyone needs a clear understanding of how to manage their money. We believe in providing opportunities for our pupils that allow them to develop financial knowledge, skills and attitudes through practical and real life activities centred around four core themes:

- how to manage money
