SMSC and Fundamental British Values

SMSC and Fundamental British Values

Home > Parents  > Parent Information > SMSC and Fundamental British Values

We consistently promote fundamental British values and pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development. Read more about how fundamental British Values and SMSC development is embedded in our De Beauvoir Behaviours and throughout our curriculum.

At De Beauvoir Primary School, spiritual, moral, social and cultural development (SMSC) and the promotion of fundamental British values are at the heart of our curriculum and the school’s work. We consistently promote fundamental British values and pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.

SMSC

Our school values of respect, confidence, inclusion and tenacity have been carefully chosen, in consultation with pupils and stakeholders, and threaded through our curriculum to ensure that it provides for pupils’ broader development. We enhance pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development systematically throughout our curriculum and strategically plan for the development of pupils’ understanding of a range of SMSC themes.

British Values

From 2014 maintained schools have been required to actively promote British Values in Schools as part of their SMSC provision. But what are British Values?

With the school population representing the different ethnic groups in Hackney and London, finding commonality and building a collective sense of community is vital for a cohesive co-existence. Fundamental British Values recognise the multi-cultural, multi faith and ever-changing nature of the United Kingdom.  All schools, including De Beauvoir Primary School, have a vital role in ensuring that our young people are not subjected to intimidation or radicalisation by those wishing to unduly, or illegally, influence them.

Government guides schools towards ‘promoting the fundamental British values’ of:

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

These values are not, however, uniquely British, nor should it be assumed that everyone understands them. Our focus at De Beauvoir is on helping our pupils understand how things in British society work and how to challenge and change society for the better. At De Beauvoir, these values are also promoted through our De Beauvoir Behaviours and through our SMSC assembles, PSHC&E lessons, school displays and celebration or charity days.

Below are some of the other ways De Beauvoir students are guided in developing an understanding and appreciation for these British Values.

British Values at De Beauvoir Primary School

Prevent Duty

Some organisations in England, Scotland and Wales have a duty, as a specified authority under section 26 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, to identify vulnerable children and young people and prevent them from being drawn into terrorism. This is known as the Prevent duty. At De Beauvoir Primary School, we have a Prevent Duty and ensure we safeguard all pupils and prevent them from being drawn into terrorism or radicalisation.
