It is taught through all subjects of the curriculum. It supports all areas of learning and can contribute to the child s motivation to learn. The values and attitudes promoted by the staff influence the behaviour and attitudes within the school. The quality of relationships and the atmosphere within the school reflect an appreciation of their shared values. SMSC is not only taught through all aspects of the curriculum but also as an amalgamation of experiences/learning opportunities. SMSC is also taught through assemblies, whether spiritual, community or otherwise. SMSC is developed through rules, routines and procedures of the School a any time or place in the School day. The ethos of the School Care and Respect emphasises the importance of SMSC.SMSC is also taught through the modelling of all staff and Governors of the School community. Older pupils help reinforce SMSC through monitoring and leadership - 1 -

In addition, the School will actively promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and the mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
