Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development at Comberton
SMSC stands for Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development and is at the heart of what we do at Comberton Primary School. We are concerned with developing the whole child, not just giving them the academic and practical skills, but also equipping them with important life skills such as: self-knowledge, moral courage, cultural capital and a capacity for imaginative sympathy for others so that they are fully prepared to be able to live meaningful lives in modern day Britain.
SMSC is evident across the curriculum in lessons, but we also plan in stand alone activities to promote these skills.
