Prevent and British Values
Radicalisation and Extremism
The Academy believes and actively supports the view that all students should be protected from radicalisation and extremism. The Academy’s Prevent Duty Lead is Mr. Tom Christopher (Senior Assistant Principal, DSL).
The Prevent Duty lead has two specific strategic objectives to safeguard our students against radicalisation, extremism and any actions or beliefs that are contrary to British Values and our Academy ethos. These are to:
- Respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat we face from those who promote it.
- Prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure that they are given appropriate advice and support.
Further information and guidance on the Prevent duty can be found here:
- Prevent duty guidance - Home Office guidance.
- Prevent duty: additional advice for schools and childcare providers - DfE advice.
- Educate Against Hate - DfE and Home Office advice.
