British Values

British Values are embedded throughout our Whole School Curriculum and opportunities are provided in RE, PSHE and Whole School Assemblies to deepen and develop understanding. We encourage our children to be creative, unique, open-minded and independent individuals, respectful of themselves and of others in our school, our local community and the wider world. We aim to nurture our children on their journey through school so they can grow into caring, responsible and tolerant individuals who can make a positive difference to British Society and to the wider world.

Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development (SMSC)

SMSC stands for spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. All schools in England must support children’s SMSC development. At Gisburn Primary School, we want our pupils to be successful, confident learners and responsible citizens. We recognise the importance of both the academic and personal development and well-being of every child in our school. This includes recognising the importance of providing a range of opportunities for our pupils to experience, engage with and respond to, which supports their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
