Spiritual, moral, social and cultural developmentis now referenced throughout Ofsted's SchoolInspection Handbook. It is almost as important
to a school's inspection as the curriculum.An 'outstanding' school will have a 'thoughtfuland wide-ranging promotion of pupils‟ spiritual,
moral, social and cultural development'An 'inadequate' school will have 'seriousweaknesses in the overall promotion of pupils‟spiritual, moral, social and cultural development'.

Outstanding (1)• Teaching is outstanding and, together with a rich, relevant, broad and
balanced curriculum, contributes to outstanding learning and achievement,significant growth in pupils‟ knowledge, and excellent attitudes to learning.
Exceptionally, achievement may be good and rapidly improving.• Pupils and particular groups of pupils have excellent educational
experiences at school and these ensure that they are very well equippedfor the next stage of their education, training or employment.
• There is excellent practice that ensures that all pupils have high levels ofliteracy and mathematical knowledge, understanding and skills appropriate
to their age.• The school‟s practice consistently reflects the highest expectations of
staff and the highest aspirations for pupils, including the most able,disabled pupils and those with special educational needs.
• Best practice is spread effectively in a drive for continuous improvement.• Other principal aspects of the school‟s work are good or outstanding.• The school’s thoughtful and wide-ranging promotion of pupils’ spiritual,
moral, social and cultural development and their physical well-beingenables them to thrive in a supportive, highly cohesive learningcommunity. Pupils whose cognitive ability is such that their literacyskills are likely to be limited make excellent progress appropriate totheir age and capabilities.

Why we are interested in pupils‟ SMSC developmentThe statutory requirement that schools should encourage pupils‟ SMSCdevelopmentwas first included in the Education Reform Act 1988. The Act began as follows:
„The curriculum for a maintained school (must be) a balanced and broadly basedcurriculum which — (a) promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development ofpupils at the school and of society; and(b) prepares such pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiencesof
adult life.‟ 1 This was followed by the Education (Schools) Act 1992 which stated that:„The Chief Inspector for England shall have the general duty of keeping theSecretary of State informed about— (a) the quality of the education provided by schools in England;(b) the educational standards achieved in those schools;
(c) whether the financial resources made available to those schools are managedefficiently; and(d) the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils at thoseschools.‟ 2

Three years later, the School Curriculum and AssessmentAuthority (SCAA)produced a report which defined spirituality as some or all of:• „the essence of being human, involving the ability to surpass the
boundaries of the physical and material• an inner life, insight and vision• an inclination to believe in ideals and possibilities that transcendour experience of the world• a response to God, the „other‟ or the „ultimate‟ • a propensity to foster human attributes such as love,
faithfulnessand goodness, that could not be classed as physical• the inner world of creativity and imagination• the quest for meaning in life, for truth and ultimate values• the sense of identity and self-worth which enables us to value
others.‟

Who am I?
Dealing with personal issues around who we are, can raise
sensitive issues for some learners. It is important we areaware of these and able to deal with them as teachers.This is an activity about recognising why we are who we are,rather than an activity about changing who we are.
Give some examples to help them embrace the idea, e.g.I really enjoy the outdoor life because I grew up in the countryside;I became a teacher because my parents both worked in schools;
I love Indian food because my bestfriend is Indian and I often eat at their
house;I am nervous of dogs because mygranddad had one that used to growlat me when I was younger.

An Outstanding Nursery School:
Families from minority ethnic groups are very well integrated into the life ofthe centre and nursery and activities such as a Polish Day ensure that children
develop a very good awareness for their age of the cultural diversity of societyChildren from different backgrounds get on very well together, and as theyget older become increasingly independent and confident. They make anexcellent contribution to the community by taking responsibility for simpletasks around school and sharing their learning with friends and families.
Excellent welfare contributes very effectively to children's learning and totheir outstanding personal development and well-being. At the time of theinspection, procedures to ensure that children are safe fully met statutoryrequirements. There are excellent links with outside agencies to safeguardchildren's well-being and to support those who are having difficulties.
Throughout the school, relationships between adults and children are superband they help to build children's confidence. Children love their time in theschool and they participate with great enthusiasm in all activities. Children areextremely well behaved and they develop high levels of confidence andindependence. Children show great concentration when working in small groupsand persevere on activities as they explore their own ideas.
