Social, Moral, Social, Cultural (SMSC) and British Values: 

Students are taught how to develop an understanding of the motivation, beliefs and principles of individuals, groups or movements. They investigate the consequences of actions and decisions made and explore and debate different interpretations of the past, recognising how they reflect different viewpoints and value systems. Explore different historical eras and the causes of social, economic and political change. Investigate the moral justification for actions and events in the past. Develop an understanding of the heritage of other societies. Specifically: 

We promote spiritual development by: 

• Considering how things would be different if the course of events had been different; for example, what difference would it have made if the Normans had not been successful in 1066?  

• Looking at local history and investigating the reasons why there is a landmark, building or museum. 

•  Speculating about how we mark important events in history and the people who shaped them. 

We promote moral development by: 

• Bias-looking at actions and events in history and deciding if they are wrong or right. 

• Focus on settlement, emigration, immigration and invasion opportunities for debate. 

• Develop awareness of and respect for the contribution of individuals/groups regardless of race/gender/disability –Slavery, Celebrations of Black history, Study of the lives of individuals such as, Martin Luther King and others. 

We promote social development by: 

• Consideration of how the world has been formed by past actions-using discussion/drama 

• Comparisons of how the role of women has changed. 

• Comparisons of ideas and beliefs of early civilisations.

• Develop presentation skills and have confidence to share an area of research-listen attentively to others. 

• Going beyond the facts and asking students to make hypotheses and pose questions such as ‘what if…?’ ‘What would have turned a tragedy into a triumph?’ 

We promote cultural development by...:  

• Visit museums, Theatre/entertainments/writings of each era 

• Appreciation of rituals particular to different people-mummification, Viking burial practises, the culture of make do and mend /dig for victory, changing role of women-how servants/slaves were treated.  

• Celebration of significant national events e.g. Remembrance Day 

British values: 

• Comparisons/discussions about how each civilisation ran its society compared with ours. 

• In each society, close examination of the rule of law.
