Spiritual, Moral, Social, Cultural (SMSC)

and

British Values

 

SMSC Vision

At Devonshire Primary Academy, we want our children to be the best versions of themselves.  We recognise that spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is at the heart of education for all our pupils, and of school development, and is therefore threaded throughout the whole curriculum and ethos of the school.

We strive to create an environment which promotes respect, resilience, pride, integrity, cooperation and honesty.  We want to equip all of our pupils with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that will prepare them for life in modern Britain.

Our children will grow and flourish and strive to be ‘The best that we can be’.  They will respect others and be respected, accommodate differences, demonstrate resilience and know right from wrong.  They will make wise and appropriate choices.  They will enjoy learning and become life-long learners.

 

Promoting Fundamental British Values

At Devonshire Primary Academy we uphold and teach pupils about the fundamental British Values.  We develop and promote British Values throughout our school and within our curriculum.  We strive to prepare all learners for life in modern Britain effectively, developing their understanding of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.

We want our children to be responsible and active citizens, who appreciate and respect differences and have confidence and independence to contribute positively and engage fully to life in Britain today.

Our children are taught to discuss, explore, and challenge a range of values, attitudes, beliefs, rights, and responsibilities in a mutually respectful manner.
