Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Education (SMSC) and British Values (BV)

SMSC and BV are threads that run through the ethos and day to day running of Earlswood and are reflected through our SMILE expectations and Learning Behaviours. SMSC and BV development opportunities are mapped throughout the Jigsaw scheme of work. All of these pieces of learning are brought together to form a cohesive picture, helping children to know and value who they are and understand how they relate to other people in the world. Teachers are proactive about the teaching of SMSC and BV through all subjects and plan opportunities throughout their curriculum.
