SPIRITUAL, MORAL, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

At The Forest School all members of staff are sensitive to the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of the pupils. This is promoted in a variety of ways: through direct teaching in areas such as religious education, citizenship, the pastoral curriculum, through assemblies where pupils are provided with opportunities for reflection and discussion. It is also promoted through careful attention to developing a school ethos in which respect for others, awareness of their needs and sensitivity to their individuality is central to everything that happens in the school.

We support pupils in developing a sense of right and wrong and we promote the development of independence, responsibility and self discipline from the early years onwards.

We believe that consideration and courtesy are essential in a learning community and work to help our pupils develop these attributes.
