Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) learning stems across the whole school and through every
lesson.
It helps us to develop a deeper knowledge and understanding of the wider world by learning about the beliefs, cultures, difficulties and needs of other people. This
in turn helps everyone to develop greater consideration, care and empathy for the world around them.
