SMSC

At the Don Valley we recognise that the personal development of our children, spiritually, morally, socially and culturally, plays a significant part in their ability to learn and achieve. We provide our pupils with a vast ray of opportunities to explore and develop their own values and beliefs, spiritual awareness, high standards of personal behaviour, a positive, caring attitude towards other people, an understanding of their social and cultural traditions and an appreciation of the diversity and richness of the cultures.

We promote SMSC development everyday as part of the ethos of our school and through our curriculum.

Don Valley hold the SMSC Gold Award. This reflects the academies testament to developing all staff and students spiritually, morally, culturally and socially.

Don Valley has had an outstanding achievement securing SMSC Gold. This reflects the academies testament to developing all staff and students spiritually, morally, culturally and socially. Many staff and students were involved within the audit and as our report shows they could not be commended enough. This audit really highlights the amazing achievements of our school community and what respectful and well-rounded individuals the students here at DVA are. It is a real achievement, and we could not be prouder of all those involved. Please see the link below for a full report of our accomplishments
