At Stam­ford Col­lege we pro­mote val­ues which ensure that our stu­dents devel­op a strong sense of social and moral responsibility.
We pre­pare stu­dents for life in mod­ern Britain and aim to embed key val­ues with­in the cur­ricu­lum and ethos at Stam­ford Col­lege. Val­ues such as:
indi­vid­ual liberty
democ­ra­cy
the law
mutu­al respect and tolerance
Our cur­ricu­lum is broad and bal­anced, com­plies with leg­is­la­tion and pro­vides a wide range of sub­jects which pre­pare stu­dents for the oppor­tu­ni­ties, respon­si­bil­i­ties and expe­ri­ences of life in mod­ern Britain.
It active­ly pro­motes fun­da­men­tal British val­ues and it extends beyond the class­room with a wide range of tuto­ri­als, vis­its, guest speak­ers and expe­ri­ences. It pro­motes tol­er­ance and respect for peo­ple of all faiths (or none), cul­tures and lifestyles through effec­tive spir­i­tu­al, moral, social and cul­tur­al devel­op­ment of stu­dents, includ­ing engag­ing stu­dents in extracur­ric­u­lar activ­i­ty, vol­un­teer­ing in the local com­mu­ni­ty, fundrais­ing, work expe­ri­ence and live project briefs.
All schools, col­leges and uni­ver­si­ties have a legal duty to edu­cate stu­dents about extrem­ist behav­iour and to report any con­cerns about stu­dents who may be at risk of radicalisation.
This could (but is not lim­it­ed to) include the following:
· Engag­ing with fun­da­men­tal­ists or their ideals (
ISIL
, Al-Qai­­da, far right groups, etc)
· Extreme polit­i­cal views (white suprema­cy, anti-Semi­­tism, etc)
· Vis­its to coun­tries deemed high risk by the
UK
government
· Access­ing web­sites / social media linked to extrem­ist organisations
· Views or behav­iour that are con­trary to British Values
RECOG­NIS­ING SIGNS OF RADICALISATION:
The fol­low­ing could describe gen­er­al teenage behav­iour, how­ev­er, togeth­er with oth­er signs may mean a young per­son is being radicalised:
out of char­ac­ter changes in dress, behav­iour and changes in their friend­ship group
los­ing inter­est in pre­vi­ous activ­i­ties and friendships
secre­tive behav­iour and switch­ing screens when you come near
THE FOL­LOW­ING SIGNS ARE MORE SPE­CIF­IC TO RADICALISATION:
own­ing mobile phones or devices they can­not account for
show­ing sym­pa­thy for extrem­ist causes
advo­cat­ing extrem­ist messages
glo­ri­fy­ing violence
access­ing extrem­ist lit­er­a­ture and imagery
show­ing a mis­trust of main­stream media reports and belief in con­spir­a­cy theories
appear­ing angry about gov­ern­men­tal poli­cies, espe­cial­ly for­eign policy
Mem­bers of staff have a legal duty to report any con­cerns, how­ev­er minor, to the Safe­guard­ing Team.
