Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development at Longcause

All pupils at Longcause come to use with a different wealth of experiences. We recognise that these opportunities provide pupils with the essential knowledge to be able to engage with their lives beyond Longcause and become active citizens in the way in which they are most fully able to. 

By enabling all of our pupils to have a broad range of experiences, we seek to develop their curiosity and connections to the world. We also intend to provide a breadth of experiences to foster an interest in something which pupils can continue to do for leisure to further enrich their future lives beyond Longcause School. This therefore is a critical factor in driving the priorities of our subject curriculums (further information about this can be found on the subject curriculum pages). Further information can be found on our Personal Development page. 

British Values and SMSC at Longcause

The Fundamental British Values underpin the experiences that pupils have at Longcause. Preparing our pupils for what it means to be a citizen in modern and diverse Great Britain is woven throughout the school, both through the curriculum and wider experiences. Our school values of respect, determination and friendship teach our pupils about the importance of valuing our communities and celebrating diversity of the UK. 

In addition to curriculum subjects, pupils explore key topics, particularly in relation to diversity and respect, in daily worship. Our themes for daily worship for this academic year can be found below.
