SMSC 

At Stanton Vale, we ensure that SMSC is an aspect of learning that is present in lessons and behaviour in school.  To ensure a consitent approach to delivery of SMSC;

– We encourage students to accept responsibility for their behaviour (see behaviour policy), show initiative, and to understand how they can contribute positively to the wider community.

-We enable our students to develop their self-knowledge, self-esteem and self-confidence.

– We enable students to distinguish right from wrong (see behaviour policy) and to respect the civil and criminal law of England.
