British Values and SMSC

At The Observatory School, we are committed to promoting British Values and fostering the spiritual, moral, social, and cultural (SMSC) development of all our pupils. These principles are deeply embedded in our curriculum and daily school life, preparing pupils to become confident, respectful, and responsible members of society.

Through our teaching and activities, we ensure pupils understand and value democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. SMSC is woven into every aspect of our school, helping pupils to develop self-awareness, empathy, and the skills they need to thrive in a diverse and ever-changing world.

We take pride in creating a school environment that nurtures understanding, encourages reflection, and celebrates the rich cultural heritage of our community. Explore this page to learn more about how we bring British Values and SMSC to life at The Observatory School.
