Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development (SMSC)

SMSC development is focused on tolerance for others with respect for the rule of law as core values. The Department for Education (DfE) have reinforced the need ‘to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote fundamental British Values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance with those with different faiths and beliefs.’ The Prevent strategy provides further guidance on how schools can ensure that children know right from wrong, mix and share with other children and value others’ views.

At our schools these values are reinforced in a variety of ways, underpinned by the Flying High Vision.
