The principles of democracy are consistently reinforced at Hellesdon, with democratic processes being used for important decisions within the community. For example, our students vote to decide which charity their House is going to support. Students can also put themselves forward for "Ambassador", "Leader" and "Prefect" roles within our Student Leadership Team. Our regular sampling of student voice is also gathered democratically across the community. The principle of democracy is also explored in subjects such as PSHE and History as well as in assemblies.

Students take part in a consultation process when changes need to be made, such as the PSHE curriculum prior to implementation.  When appointing new posts to the school, students are always involved in a student panel and we regularly seek students’ views on their provision through student panels and questionnaires. Students can voice their thoughts on school activities and processes through the School Council.

The importance of laws, whether they be those that govern the class, the school or the country are consistently reinforced at Hellesdon High School.

Students are taught Hellesdon’s rules and expectations, which are highlighted by the Code of Conduct.  Students are taught the value and the reasons behind rules that govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves and the consequences when laws are broken – both inside and outside of the school.  Visits from authorities such as the police reinforce this message.

Staff at Hellesdon High School provide an empowering education and positive boundaries for students whilst actively encouraging them to make individual and informed choices in a safe environment.

Students are encouraged to know and understand their rights and personal freedoms and are advised on how to exercise these safely.  This is delivered through the PSHE curriculum, assemblies and during tutor time.  Hellesdon High School has a robust anti-bullying culture as result of a high-level pastoral support and a clear and comprehensive behaviour policy.

Respect is an integral part of Hellesdon High School and is part of its aims and values.  Students learn that their behaviour has an effect on their own rights and those of others.  All members of the school community treat each other with respect and this is reiterated through its teaching and learning environments.  Mutual respect is embraced throughout the curriculum by providing the opportunity for students to express their views in a safe environment.  Students are encouraged to express considered opinions with enthusiasm and respect for others.

This is achieved through equipping students with the ability to understand their place in a culturally diverse society and by creating opportunities to experience diversity within the school community.  The RE curriculum provides a broad and balanced education on a range of faiths, religions and cultures.  The syllabus helps students to have a broader understanding of spiritual, moral and sociological issues and encourages them to think about their own spiritual development.

Hellesdon High School strives endlessly to ensure that its students leave with the strongest foundation of values upon which to build a successful life and a successful contribution to our society.
