teaching PSHE, British Values and SMSC at dean bank
At Dean Bank Primary School, we are committed to developing opportunities to promote SMSC within our curriculum and the daily life of the school as part of our ‘Curriculum for Life’. Each class has specific Curriculum for Life lessons where we teach the children about British Values and complete activities to develop children’s appreciation for SMSC issues. We use the Jigsaw PSHE programme and also plan bespoke lessons based on our school values and SMSC issues to suit our pupils. Mrs Crute is the teacher with responsibility for SMSC within our school.
