<p>Academies, free schools and independent schools are already required to encourage
pupils to respect fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual
liberty and mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.</p><p>On
23 June, we launched a consultation on proposed revised standards, which will strengthen
this position by requiring these schools actively to promote these values. We expect
to have the new standards in place for the start of the next academic year.</p><p>We
also plan to issue guidance to maintained schools on promoting fundamental British
values, and to ask Ofsted to reinforce those expectations through changes to the inspection
framework for maintained schools, academies and free schools.</p><p> </p>
