SMSC at Eagle Park School

At Eagle Park School, our SMSC programme (Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural education) is embedded across the curriculum and daily life. Students are given meaningful opportunities to explore values, reflect on their role in the world, and engage with important global and social themes.

One key strand of our SMSC offer is the student-led assembly programme, where pupils take ideas developed through lessons and group discussions and present them to the wider school community. These assemblies promote confidence, collaboration, and critical thinking, while reinforcing key themes through student voice.

Topics covered include:

Healthy Eating Week
Earth Day
Ocean Day
Ramadan Day
Black History Month
Mother’s Day
Road Safety Month
World Animal Day

From raising environmental awareness to exploring personal identity and community values, our SMSC programme helps students become thoughtful, responsible, and informed individuals.
