At Upton St James, British Values run through everything we do. We refer to the British values with the children explicitly in worship and PSHE and we also have a Picture News worship once a week, which covers at least one British Value through class discussion around a current issue in the media.
Tutors Ms Lord-Braddock and Miss Titterton are pictured with Amelia and Seth, representing their group and displaying the winning entry. When asked about the competition, both students agreed that it had really made them all think about British values and what they meant.
This fantastic word wall playground sign combines key British Values with iconic names, past-times, institutions and more - covering everything that's quintessentially British! A fantastic display to reinforce British values in the school and a great way to get everyone thinking about what it means to be British, the values and traditions we share, and your own school ethos.
Our Values are the golden thread running through our school that underpin everything we do. They are the focus of our weekly assemblies on Monday and we celebrate examples of children reflecting the values through Values certificates on Thursdays. They underpin our relationships and behaviour policy and every class displays Our Values posters to help reinforce and ensure children understand why these values are so important.
As part of the prize their posters will soon be printed and placed around College campuses and feature in digital marketing campaigns. The physical prizes were kindly donated by Stone, and the winners of the poster competition have won a laptop or Chromebook each.
Speaking to one of the winners, Cristina Barbu, she said:
This wheel shows how values, learning and development and safeguarding and welfare are all integral to the EYFS. It is a visual reminder that promoting and modeling British values is already part of the daily routine. You can download a copy of this poster from the PACEY shop from just 99p.
They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens. The school has a strong moral code and British values are entrenched in the ethos of the school. They are evident in policies and the school's commitment to the personal development of every pupil. Children are taught to accept responsibility and develop a sense of right and wrong. They are taught to help and respect others, and begin to understand a range of faiths. Through pupil voice, 'school council' and 'Philosophy for Children', they begin to learn about the democratic process and the 'laws of the land'.
Buildup region dose calculation of Pinnacle3 (version 9.0), a treatment planning system (TPS) commissioned using cylindrical ionization chamber measurements, have been verified experimentally. Dose values measured using Attix parallel plate ionization chamber were compared with those calculated by Pinnacle3 for a variety of clinical setups involving: 6 MV and 15 MV photon beams, open fields, enhanced dynamic wedges, physical wedges, block tray, 85, 100 and 120 cm source-to-surface distances, and square field sizes ranging from 3 3 to 30 30 cm2 . The dose difference (DD) and distance-to-agreement (DTA) techniques were used to evaluate the discrepancy between measured and calculated dose values. Based on the criteria of DD less than 2% or DTA less than 2mm, 93.7% of 1,710 dose points for the 6 MV and 96.1% of 2,244 dose points for 15 MV passed. Dose points that failed were mostly for open fields, block tray fields, and physical wedges (15 and 30 degrees) fields; this is attributed to high electron contamination (EC) associated with these fields. The levels of discrepancies between measured and calculated dose values were greatly reduced after remodeling the EC in Pinnacle3 using Attix chamber measurements, an indication that the EC equation in Pinnacle3 may be adequate for modeling EC in the dose buildup region, and the commissioning of a TPS using cylindrical ionization chamber measurements may not provide accurate buildup region dose calculation. Attix chamber measurements were validated using GafChromic EBT2 film; the disagreement was less than 3% for 89.9% of dose values compared.
We are very excited to announce a Joint Meeting of the British Ecological Society Journal, People and Nature, and the Valuing Nature Programme.* The meeting will be an international, broad-scope, interdisciplinary event reflecting the ethos of both People and Nature and the Valuing Nature Programme. It will cover many aspects of the multiple values of nature and will broadly fall under three themes as outlined below. The meeting aims to foster cross-disciplinary research collaborations and inform the agenda in this growing and fast-moving research area.
Guidelines for standard talks and poster presentations can be downloaded below. We ask that all presenters read through all instructions carefully before the meeting to ensure your presentation is prepared correctly.
Balancing Multiple Values: Opportunities and challenges
Differences in the way humans conceptualise and value nature arise through diverse disciplinary, theoretical, cultural, and political contexts. In recognition of the varied ways nature is valued, this theme focuses on the tensions, contestations and opportunities occurring when multiple values of nature come into contact, and what, if anything, to do about it. Papers that explore aspects of ethics, governance, disciplinary developments, and the different forms of politics that might be required to balance or accept multiple nature values, are particularly encouraged. In the environmental sciences this has been an area of active research for the last few decades, resulting in a range of mathematical models and tools aimed at examining the consequences of land management choices on environmental or cultural resources, exploring the trade-offs that result. Papers that explore the challenges of blending quantitative approaches with qualitative values, for instance through deliberation and participation, and drawing on interdisciplinary approaches are also of key interest. In focusing on the dynamics of balancing multiple values of nature in a range of contexts, the session aims to generate ways forward regarding how and when multiple values might usefully and respectfully be brought together.
Values in action: Exploring processes of change and transformation
How do values linked to the natural world relate to wider processes of change and transformation in social-ecological systems? A long standing and persistent thread of sustainability and resilience discourse is concerned with the relationship between values and action, and indeed, much has been written about the challenge of variously translating, communicating and embedding affirmative visions and mandates for nature into the messy world of practice. Relational approaches to people and nature encourage us to explore the practical contexts in which values take shape and exert influence, be that through the institutions we build, the landscapes we plan, the businesses we create, or the communities we grow. In this session, we invite consideration of the many and diverse ways values are fostered, enacted and enabled, but also impeded, as they move through different sites and arena of state and civil society action.
N2 - Objectives: Examine the effect of maternal Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) on newborn 25-hydroxyvitaminD (25OHD) levels in a multi-ethnic newborn cohort.Design: 3000 dried blood spots (DBS) were gathered from newborns at a regional newborn screening laboratory over two 1-week periods [February 2019 (winter) and August 2019 (summer)]. Data on birth weight, gestational age, maternal age, ethnicity, and post code were collected. Post code was replaced with lower layer super output area (LSOA). IMD quintiles for the corresponding LSOA was used to ascertain socio-economic status (SES) [quintile one (Q1) representing the most deprived 20% and quintile five (Q5) the least deprived 20% of the population]. Each of the seven domains of IMD were examined (income, employment, education, health, barriers to housing and services, crime and living environment). 25OHD was measured on 6mm sub-punch from DBS using quantitative liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and equivalent plasma values derived.Results: A total of 2999 (1500 summer-born, 1499 winter-born) newborn DBS (1580 males) were analysed. 35.7% were vitamin D deficient [25OHD

In this chapter we compare posts from the two countries which most posters identified as residing in. Within the forum, 38.84% of posts were made by people from the UK, 33.94% were made by those from the USA, 17.41% were made by people who did not specify a country and 9.81% consisted of all other countries. While the main language in the UK and USA is English, an analysis of keyword differences indicates numerous differences which point not only to spelling (favorite) and lexical choices (vacation) but also to ways that anxiety is understood. In addition, we consider the extent to which posters are influenced by external cultures; for example, is there evidence that British posters are adopting language and discourses used by American posters, or vice versa? As with the previous chapter, the analysis concludes by considering the role of culture on understandings of anxiety.
