SMSC stands for Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural education and is part of the National Curriculum.
At Whiteparish, our aim is to inspire all our pupils to develop a love of learning and to be socially and morally responsible citizens of the world.
We aim to celebrate and embrace 'The Whole Child' encouraging children to flourish academically, socially and emotionally with the love and support of the whole school community. We embrace the fact that every child is unique, ensuring the best possible environment for all children to reach their potential and embrace challenge.
