St Giles School

All students at St. Giles School are considered to be in need of a strong spiritual, moral, social, and cultural education (SMSC).
The SMSC programme at the school emphasises British values.
At St. Giles, the Spiritual, Moral, Social, and Cultural Curriculum plays a major role in providing opportunities to share, engage with, and promote British values.
This demonstrates to students how following the rules makes teamwork at school more fun and encourages tolerance and consideration for others.
Many of our students depend on other people to help them maintain their physical and mental health.
Our school's rules and ethos emphasise the value of protecting students, paying attention to them, giving them the chance to make decisions, and promoting their rights.
The institution not only encourages student speech and personal liberties, but it also cultivates a secure environment.
This gives students the opportunity to be as independent as they can be and to make decisions that show a proper understanding of their own needs and safety concerns.
The Personal, Social, and Health Curriculum and the e-safety policy are both used to help students make decisions that protect their safety.
To ensure that all students can participate safely, the school encourages greater physical access and helps students develop their awareness of how to make safe decisions.
This include learning how to use a wheelchair, encouraging autonomous home-school commuting, and finding measures to enhance physical access in both the classroom and the larger community.
The foundation of our school community is the value of respect, which is demonstrated in how all areas of the school community collaborate.
The curriculum, methods, and structures at our schools are all intended to foster respect for all people, and we are always thinking of new ways to do this.
The design of the school day, the format of assemblies, the availability of resources, the accessibility of the setting, the encouragement of independence and communication, and all of these things work together to further mutual respect.
Our school actively encourages respect for one another, placing special focus on appreciating diversity and the needs of those with disabilities. This goal is aided by our involvement with other schools and the larger community.
Our school community is extremely diverse and our school life supports and enhances opportunities to experience and share diversity and challenge prejudices.
The school encourages dialogue and debate and promotes tolerance through the curriculum, school culture, and institutional structures.
This helps students and the school community recognise prejudice and appreciate the value of tolerance.
Through training and research we are continually looking for ways to enable our pupils to actively experience and increase their awareness and respect for diversity.
The school has clear policies and systems for managing intolerance and encourages everyone in the school community to be responsible for dispelling prejudice.
The mission of St. Giles is to advance British values.
They are reflected in the values of the school as a positive, encouraging, caring and safe environment which shows respect and promotes personal responsibility for all.
