British Values, Protected Characteristics, SMSC
Rather than being taught as separate curriculum areas, SMSC development, British Values and the protected characteristics are integrated throughout all aspects of the pastoral curriculum.
This ensures that pupils encounter these themes in meaningful and relevant contexts across all curriculum strands rather than through isolated lessons. The curriculum actively promotes:
SMSC Development
- Spiritual Development
- Moral Development
- Social Development
- Cultural Development
British Values
- Democracy
- Rule of Law
- Individual Liberty
- Mutual Respect
- Tolerance of Those with Different Faiths and Beliefs
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
The nine protected characteristics are explored through curriculum content, current affairs discussions, RSHE learning, character education and wider school experiences. This helps pupils develop respect, understanding and appreciation of diversity within modern Britain.
