Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural and British Values
“The school’s vision promotes tolerance and understanding, where all are deeply respected”
SIAMS Report May 2022
At Huby CE Primary school, the children and their learning are at the very heart of every decision made. SMSC is at the very heart of all we do at Huby and its impact is seen both in and outside of the classroom. We believe strongly in a holistic education for our children, rooted in Christian values, which will equip them for life in an ever changing society.
At Huby CE Primary School we recognise that the personal development of pupils spiritually, morally, socially and culturally, plays a significant part in their ability to learn and achieve and also to relate fully to the world in which we live. We therefore aim to provide an education that provides pupils with opportunities to explore and develop:
- their own values and beliefs whilst respecting the values and beliefs of others
- their own spiritual awareness,
- their own high standards of personal behaviour,
- a positive, caring attitude towards other people,
- an understanding of their social and cultural traditions
- and an appreciation of the diversity and richness of other cultures
- the difference between right and wrong and have the skills necessary to make judgments independently and appropriately.
Our yearly schools ‘Value Book’ is a wonderful celebration of SMSC at Huby Primary school. Please call into school to take a look.
British Values
British Values
We prepare children for life in modern Britain through:
Democracy • Rule of Law • Individual Liberty • Mutual Respect • Tolerance of Different Faiths and Beliefs
These are explored through our curriculum, worship, pupil voice, leadership opportunities, relationships, charity, community action and everyday school life.
Our Christian values provide a strong foundation for understanding fairness, justice, responsibility, respect and service.
School Council
The School Council involves children and adults as partners in decisions about the school. Being on the School Council promotes positive relationships helps children to become more confident and broadens their understanding of society.
Our School Council representatives are elected by their peers. Each year group is represented by one council member with children in Early Years being represented by a child from year 6. The School council decides on many different issues. Here are some of the events and activities they have decided upon:
- Harvest produce to be donated to local food banks
- Charities supported by the school e.g. Martin House Hospice, Children in Need, Little Princess Trust, WWF, St Leonard's Hospice Reindeer Run
- The outside stage area
- Huby’s Got Talent competition
- Cake Stalls
