Can you describe British values?
History and values are differentmattters. You ma teach values with history in choosing what and how you want it, but still, you have to clarify what are British values.

"You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."

Re: British values classes considered
I don't see that such values classes would remedy any radicalisation. That's
more likely to occur due to other factors, far removed from a lack of sense of
identity. On the issue of history, I would say that if anything, the empire brings
with it the negative aspects of colonisation which would only serve to reflect an
image of the British that would not be helpful.
Would not say, however, that it should be overlooked, but I don't believe that
teaching about it in school would have much of an impact beyond those few
who feel engaged enough to go on and learn more themselves.

Usually a lot of things are only taught for the benefit of those who are curious. Those who have no interest whatsoever will just take the exams and forget.
