Personal Development

The personal development of our children is the key to their success in school and beyond. 

SMSC - Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural

At school we embed SMSC in all aspects of our school life. Our definitions for SMSC are:- 

Spiritual: The opportunity to explore beliefs, experience and faiths, feelings and values; enjoy learning about oneself, others and the surrounding world; use imagination and creativity and reflect on experiences.

Moral: The opportunity to learn what is right and wrong and respect the law; understand consequences; investigate moral and ethical issues and offer reasoned views.

Social: The opportunity to use a range of social skills to participate in the local community and beyond; appreciate diverse viewpoints; participate, volunteer and cooperate; resolve conflict.

Cultural: The opportunity to explore and appreciate cultural influences; appreciate the role of Britain’s parliamentary system; participate in cultural opportunities; understand, accept, respect and celebrate diversity.

We promote 'British Values' at every level, including through our SMSC and PSHE/RSE curriculum.
