SMSC and British Values

Jo Richardson supports the Black Lives Matter Movement
Our school is named after a woman who stood and actively campaigned for equality. Jo Richardson fought for the civil liberties of people in this borough.
The Black Lives Matter movement campaigns against violence and systemic racism towards black people. As a school community, we wholly support this movement, and this is evident through our school culture and values. The ACHIEVE values are at the heart of everything we do. We encourage our students to be involved in their communities and to value care for and respect each other.
Our key character traits or 5Rs of Respect, Responsibility, Reflection, Resourcefulness and Resilience build our students’ character to ensure that we respect one another and take responsibility for the wellbeing or others in our communities. Our school community is diverse and we are a better and stronger community because of this diversity. We stand against racism. Our curriculum and pastoral programmes intentionally plan for students to have rich experiences that ensure SMSC and British Values are fully addressed.
Jo Richardson stands for equality, community and inclusivity.

Spiritual Moral Social and Cultural Development (SMSC) is part of everything we do at Jo Richardson. British Values are integral to SMSC and underpin our school’s ACHIEVE values. We take a thoughtful and deliberate approach.

SMSC is embedded into our curriculum and teaching staff plan for opportunities to develop students’ ability to reflect on their learning.  Our curriculum, our assembly programme, our tutor time programme and our Student Voice programme ensure SMSC is wide ranging.

Student Voice elections provide an opportunity for students to engage in decision making and democratic processes. Students are actively encourage to respect everyone in our community and to ensure that everyone in our community is treated equally. Spiritual development is about how students reflect on their own beliefs and how they respect the feelings and values of others. Moral development can be seen in the decisions students make between right and wrong, how they put their actions right and reflect on those actions. Social development includes a respect for individual liberty and the law. We prepare students for a positive life in modern Britain both through our ACHIEVE agenda and learning opportunities in and out of the classroom. Students participate and respond positively to artistic, sporting and cultural opportunities and have an appreciation of cultural influences that shape their lives and the lives of others. All staff have received PREVENT strategy training and workshops will be provided for students.
