[As Introduced]

BILL
to
This bill would require schools in England to actively teach and promote 'British values' as a core part of the curriculum. It seeks to embed values such as democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect across all educational settings. The bill aims to ensure that students develop a stronger understanding of British civic culture and constitutional principles. Schools would need to demonstrate how these values are integrated into teaching, potentially through dedicated lessons, assemblies, or crosscurricular approaches.
Presented by Lord Harries of Pentregarth.
