# British Values and SMSC

## British Values and SMSC

At Educational Diversity, we recognise that the personal development of pupils spiritually, morally, socially and culturally (SMSC) plays a significant part in their ability to learn and achieve. We therefore aim to provide an education that enables pupils with opportunities to explore and develop:

- Their own values and beliefs.
- Spiritual awareness.
- High standards of personal behaviour.
- A positive, caring attitude towards other people.
- An understanding of their social and cultural traditions.
- An appreciation of the diversity and richness of cultures.

SMSC is a fundamental part of the whole school experience which makes the curriculum relevant, stimulating, creative and fun. It enriches each subject and the ethos of the centre and is an essential ingredient of school success.

Educational Diversity is committed to serving its community. It recognises the multi-cultural, multi-faith and ever-changing nature of the United Kingdom. It also understands the vital role it has in ensuring that groups or individuals within the school are not subjected to intimidation or radicalisation by those wishing to unduly, or illegally, influence them.

It follows equal opportunities guidance which guarantees that there will be no discrimination against any individual or group, regardless of faith, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, political or financial status, or similar. Educational Diversity is dedicated to preparing students for their adult life beyond the formal, examined curriculum and ensuring that it promotes and reinforces British Values to all its students.

### The five key British Values are:

- Democracy.
- The rule of law.
- Individual liberty.
- Mutual respect.
- Tolerance of those different faiths and beliefs.
