SMSC

Spiritual, Moral, Social & Cultural Development

In November 2014, the Department for Education (DfE) produced non-statutory guidance on how schools should promote British values as part of spiritual, moral, social, and cultural (SMSC) development.

These values were originally defined by the government as: “democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.”

At Horley Infant School these values are interwoven within the Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) development of our pupils and are therefore intrinsic in everything we do.
