British Values

    Promoting British Values

        The 2014 Primary National Curriculum reinforces:

'   'The need to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British Values of democracy, the rule of           law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.'

 

       All maintained schools have a duty to 'actively promote' the fundamental British values:

  • democracy
  • the rule of law
  • individual liberty
  • mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without a faith                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Some of the ways that we promote this at Sedgley Park Community Primary School                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            DEMOCRACY

     In order to make the teaching and application of core values enjoyable and memorable for our children we also use the 'YOIMOJI'

                                                                             

   

      WHO ARE YOIMOJI?

      The Yoimoji are a collection of colourful characters designed to help promote British Values. Each Yoimoji represents a value that, over time, helps              build children's understanding of  the Fundamental British Values.

     LET'S MEET THE YOIMOJI CHARACTERS
