Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural Development

Our SMSC (Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural development) programme at the Academy is based around British Values and modern life in Britain. SMSC is at the heart of all that we do. It involves developing the whole person and ensuring that they are happy, secure, confident and valued.

We provide a lots of opportunities for our pupils to develop these skills across the school day. These include through the curriculum, assemblies, form time, extra-curricular activities, leadership opportunities, rewards systems, to name but a few. Our Academy culture and ethos is also underpinned by SMSC.
