Spiritual development is concerned with developing the non-material aspects of life, focusing on personal insight, values, meaning and purpose.

Beliefs that help provide perspective on life may be rooted in a religion, but

equally may not. Children learn the fundamental British Value of exploring and respecting the values and beliefs of others.

Moral development is largely about choices, behaviour and how you live your life. It is also about personal and societal values, understanding the reasons for them, airing, and understanding disagreements. Children develop the fundamental British Value of investigating moral values and ethical issues, and recognising and applying right and wrong.

Social development shows pupils working together effectively, relating well to adults and participating in the local community.  It also includes the fundamental British Values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs;

Cultural development is about

understanding and feeling

comfortable in a variety of cultures and experiencing a range of cultural activities (art, theatre, travel, concerts). Children develop the fundamental British Value of exploring, understanding and tolerance regarding the diversity of cultural traditions and beliefs of others.
