At Peel Common Nursery and Infant  School we enrich children's learning to prepare them to become successful, global citizens through the promotion of British Values and the development of Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural understanding and attitudes. 

In 2011 the DfE reinforced the need to "create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of different faith and beliefs." At Peel Common Nursery and Infant School we actively promote these values through our own school values and through our curriculum.

• We demonstrate democracy by providing children with opportunities to vote, such as choosing class rewards, role play areas and story time books.
