SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural) Weekly Update:

SMSC Vision: At Colne Park High School the spiritual, moral, social and cultural elements of a student’s education is crucial to their development as an individual. We enable our pupils to take their rightful place in our community as a local, national, and global citizen. Through SMSC, we ensure that pupils are prepared for life in modern Britain, fostering a meaningful understanding of their world. Our curriculum supports them to develop an informed and balanced view on world events, beliefs and values of others.

We are currently working towards The Excellence in Pupil Development Award. This award provides schools with a structure and systematic approach to develop a ‘skills for life’ curriculum. It also ensures schools are embedding a culture and ethos which aims to develop pupils’ personal development and skills. 

This week's form time reading (Picture News) is themed around ambition. In particular, pupils have been exploring why somebody would be worthy of receiving a Nobel Peace Prize. This has given our pupils an opportunity to develop their social and moral education and the British Value of Mutual Respect and Tolerance by celebrating different people who have made a positive change and showing respect to others who have made our world a brighter and more united place.

During RISE this week, pupils have been developing their social education by learning about being a role model and how to support each other with any issues. In particular, encouraging pupils to respect each other and collaborate with one another. During assembly, pupils were developing their moral and cultural education by exploring the "power for good." Where pupils explored anti-bullying week as well as looking at the importance of helping others. 

Our reflection quote for this week is: “You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.” Zig Ziglar
