​National Curriculum

  As part of the inspection framework, all schools in England that are
  subject to the regulations of the National Curriculum, are expected to
​  have active policies in place for the following:
​
  • Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) education
  • Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education
  • Citizenship
  • Fundamental British values
  • Prevention of the radicalisation of children.
​It is not easy for a school to design a ‘whole school approach’ and plan to implement a practical syllabus that meets the National Curriculum while also taking into account the school’s culture and  ethos and living up to expectations for other parts of a broad and balanced curriculum that are a school’s responsibility.
 
The Department for Education has published SMSC guidance and set out what is expected of schools in England in promoting fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and those without faith.
 
When Ofsted inspectors form a judgement of a school, they must consider the provision being made for the pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and, with the additional duty to actively promote fundamental British values, schools must:
  • have a clear strategy for embedding these values, and
  • show how their work with pupils has been effective in doing so.
 
The Human Values Foundation’s programmes called:
  • EDUCATION IN HUMAN VALUES (“EHV”) for ages 4 to 12, and
  • SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL EDUCATION (“SEE”) for ages 12 to 14+
offer ways in which to meet National and local curriculum expectations, because they have been designed and written to make the range of topics easily and readily available for teachers to deliver.

The materials were written by teachers for teachers and are universal resources.  Their teaching techniques are easy to apply and can be adapted to harness the learning opportunities provided by modern technologies.  The lesson plans are detailed and supported with music on CDs, song sheets, stories, ideas for group activities and themes for school assemblies.  Each lesson illustrates a value and, in an organised and coherent way, leads into a series of related values, which make delivery of objectives easy to implement.  As the teaching techniques are all largely familiar to teachers, there is nothing new to learn and the time-saving modules can therefore be exploited immediately.


VALUES-BASED EDUCATION OUTCOMES:
  • creates a climate where excellence is the standard
  • attracts and retains talented staff
  • positions the whole school community for success
  • generates strategies to exceed expectations
  • inspires everyone to improve performance
  • develops competencies and essential life skills
  • promotes collaboration and community cohesion
  • enhances and maintains the morale of staff
  • improves the reputation of the school
  • motivates stimulating leadership action plans
  • provides uplifting achievements for all to enjoy
