“Thank you so much for the SMSC course, I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed it , how insightful it was and useful. I am going to be able to do so much with it for the whole school”

Elizabeth Watson, Head of Religious Education, Hollingworth Academy Trust

Pupils’ Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development has been important since its inception in 1944. Schools now have a statutory requirement to teach Relationships (and Sex) and Health Education. How do we ensure high-quality SMSC and ‘British Values’ in the COVID, ‘Black Lives Matter’ and post-Brexit era ? And how do we make sure that these are properly embedded throughout the curriculum?

  • So what does high-quality SMSC look like across the curriculum?
  • How does R(S)HE / PSHE link in ?
  • What will ISI or Ofsted expect?
  • Why might this be important in a post-COVID, #BLM and post-Brexit world?
  • How does this link to attainment and school improvement?
