Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC)
At Moor Allerton Hall Primary School, we recognise that the personal development of children spiritually, morally, socially and culturally plays a significant part in their ability to learn and achieve. SMSC is not a separate subject taught explicitly but an aspect of learning that is promoted across the entire school curriculum. It is the golden thread which runs through all aspects of school life.
