At Queensway Primary School Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) development is evident throughout our curriculum.
Implementation
We promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. We implement this by:
Democracy – Children, parents and staff have the right to have their voices heard. We have a school council made up of pupil-elected class representatives. Within the school council meetings, children raise issues and suggest ideas for improvement both within in school as well as in the wider school community.
The Rule of Law – We strive to meet school expectations in everything we do and these are reinforced throughout school in order to teach children to take responsibility for their own actions. Children are taught the reasons behind rules and laws, how they govern and protect us and the consequences of what happens when rules are broken.
Individual Liberty – Alongside rules and laws, we promote freedom of choice and the right to respectfully express views and beliefs. Through the provision of a safe, supportive environment and empowering education, we provide boundaries for our young pupils to make choices safely.
Mutual Respect and Tolerance of Different Faiths or Beliefs – Children are taught to show empathy and understanding of people from different backgrounds. They are given regular opportunities to learn about different cultures and beliefs to reinforces messages of tolerance and respect. This allows children to understand and respect values different to their own. All members of the school community treat each other with respect, a Queensway Quality, and this is modelled by staff.
