What is SMSC?

Every School in England must promote SMSC.  But what is SMSC and how do we at Lyndon Green Junior School promote it?

SMSC stands for spiritual, moral, social and cultural.  All schools in England must show how well their pupils develop in SMSC.

Pupils are marked on ability and willing.

Spiritual – Explore beliefs and experiences; respect values; discover oneself and the surrounding world; use imagination and creativity; reflect.

Moral – Recognise right and wrong ; understand consequences; investigate moral and ethical issues; offer reasoned views.

Social – Use social skills in different contexts; work well with others; resolve conflicts; understand how communities work.

Cultural – Appreciate cultural influences; participate in culture opportunities; understand, accept, respect and celebrate diversity.

The curriculum, rich experiences and the ethos combined, help to shape the SMSC provision at Lyndon Green Junior School.  The following documents set out how each year group are instilling SMSC in their pupils.
