Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural Education

Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural Education

We are committed to developing our students Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural Education. As part of our curriculum, we ensure that partisan political views are not promoted in the teaching of any subject. This is closely monitored through lesson visits and the quality assurance of the curriculum.

All curriculum areas contribute to the pupil’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. The integrity and spirituality of all faith backgrounds will be respected and explored. The diversity of spiritual traditions will be recognised, and pupils will be given access to alternative views. All adults will model and promote expected behaviour, treating all people as valuable individuals and showing respect for pupils and their families. Young people should learn to differentiate between right and wrong in as far as their actions affect other people. They will be encouraged to value themselves and others.

Pupils should understand the need for rules and the need to abide by rules for the good of everyone. The schools “Living and Learning” values combined with our classroom expectations of Safe, Ready, Respectful should reflect, reiterate, promote the character development of all, recognise progress and provide opportunities to celebrate pupil’s achievements. All curriculum areas should seek to use illustrations and examples drawn from as wide a range of cultural contexts as possible.
