All children are entitled to all they need to realise their full potential and for the healthy growth and development of their minds, bodies and emotions. Cloughwood Academy plays a vital role in promoting this growth and development and provides a full range of opportunities for the children during their time with us. Personal, social, health, relationships and economic education promotes pupils’ personal social and emotional development, as well as their health and wellbeing.
SMSC promotes the Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development. Together they help equip children with the skills necessary to thrive and compete in a modern day multi-cultural society building knowledge and skills they need to lead confident, healthy and independent lives. They aim to help children understand how they are developing personally and socially, and tackles many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. It gives children an understanding of the rights and responsibilities that are part of being a good citizen and introduces them to some of the principles of prudent financial planning and understanding.
