  • SMSC Enrichment Days Provide Valuable Learning Opportunities for Academy Students

    Published 16/12/22

    During the autumn half term, we have been pleased to deliver two SMSC days at the Academy. Students in year 10 and 11 each had a specialist day which provided them with the opportunity to develop their knowledge of important societal issues and learn vital lifesaving skills. Throughout the day, students engage in various activities and attend presentations provided by a variety of external agency guest speakers.  The purpose of the days was to enable students to develop their knowledge of wider issues relating to their Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development, allowing them to be positive members of British Society.
