Social, moral, spiritual and cultural education (SMSC) is crucial to the development of all our children and is integrated into the curriculum from Early Years up to Year 2.
We promote British values throughout the curriculum, in addition to whole school activities where the importance of respect, acceptance and understanding diversity are just some of the morals taught in our school. PSHE lessons and whole school assemblies encompass British values.
