At St Mary’s we ensure that our curriculum is a vehicle for SMSC education.
SMSC stands for spiritual, moral, social and cultural education. It is supported throughout our curriculum with each subject identifying links with the termly themes through planning.
SMSC is developed through:
- Personalised curriculum
- Engaging in a range of social situations
- Developing an awareness and respect for diversity
- Developing an understanding of right and wrong
- Developing the communication skills to make choices about likes/dislikes in school
- Educational visits in the wider community
- Taking part in sporting opportunities
- Taking part in cultural opportunities
- Taking part in artistic opportunities; theatre, music and arts.
- Weekly celebrations of pupil’s/student’s work and effort
- A range of pupil/student leadership and responsibility roles across the school.
