What's in each debate

Everything you need.
Nothing to prep.

Three components per debate, ready to go the minute you click. Your prep time: zero.

Debate video

A short film introduces the topic to your class

Two or three minutes of pupil-facing content to open the debate. Play it on the whiteboard at the start of the class meeting. No setup, no pre-reading.

Guided meeting tool

The discussion runs itself

The question appears on screen. Pupils talk in pairs or small groups, then vote. The platform records what they said. You facilitate without having to plan a single step.

Debate pack

Teacher notes and optional extensions

Background briefing, prompts for deeper discussion, and follow-up activities if you want to stretch the debate further. Open it if you need it, ignore it if you don't.

Dedicated KS1 and KS2 versions of every debate. Age-appropriate video, age-appropriate prompts, age-appropriate questions. You pick the right one for your year group and the rest follows.

The ten debates

Ten debates. Five values. One term.

Two debates per value, sequenced across the term, with dedicated KS1 and KS2 versions of each. Every debate is a 20 to 30 minute class meeting: video in, discussion and vote, the platform records what pupils said. Run them in PSHE, in assembly, or as a standalone class meeting.

Why this exists

British Values are statutory. Most pupils can't name them.

Schools are required to actively promote the five British Values. In practice that means assemblies, display boards, and worksheets. And pupils who, when Ofsted asks, can't remember what the values are or why they matter.

The British Values Pack takes a different route. Instead of teaching the values to pupils, it lets them argue their way into them. A debate on school uniform is a debate on Individual Liberty. A debate on class rules is Democracy. The value sticks because the pupil reached it themselves.

Questions

What teachers ask us

Which year groups is this for?

Primary school, Years 1 to 6. Every debate comes in a dedicated KS1 and KS2 version, so the video, prompts, and question register are already pitched to the right age group. You pick the right one for your class and the rest follows. Several schools also run the KS2 version in Year 7.

How does each debate actually work?

Each debate has three parts, all ready to go. First, a short video introduces the topic to your pupils, played on the whiteboard at the start of the class meeting. Second, the guided meeting tool takes over: the question appears on screen, pupils discuss in pairs or small groups, everyone votes, and the platform records what was said. Third, the debate pack gives you teacher notes and optional extension activities if you want to go deeper. A typical debate fits into a 30-minute class meeting slot and requires no prep from the teacher.

How long does each debate take?

Each debate is designed for a 20 to 30 minute class meeting slot. Run one per fortnight and you'll cover all ten in a single term. Or run them faster if you want to concentrate the work into a half term.

What's actually in the Ofsted report?

One printable page. Which debates you ran, how many pupils took part, a sample of the answers, and a summary against each of the five British Values. It unlocks after you've completed five debates.

How many classes can use it?

Every class in the school, for one term. One purchase covers the whole school, not per class, not per teacher.

What happens when the term ends?

Access closes after one term. You can either leave it there (report saved) or upgrade to full Smart School Councils membership, in which case the £49 comes off your first year.

Who runs Smart School Councils?

We're a UK charity. We help over 680 schools run their school councils, including partnerships with local authorities and multi-academy trusts. The British Values Pack is a standalone version of the debate tool built into our main platform.

Ten debates. Five values. One term. £49.
