SMSC and PSHE

Spiritual: Helps students consider and respond to questions of meaning and purpose in life, to consider and respond to questions about the nature of values in society.

Moral: Helps students consider aspects of morality by using knowledge skills and understanding of religious and ethical teaching enabling them to make responsible and informed judgements about religious and moral issues.

Social: Helps students develop their sense of identity and belonging by preparing them for life as responsible citizens in an increasingly diverse world.

Cultural: Helps foster students' awareness and understanding of a range of beliefs and practices in the community and the wider world, and by exploring issues within and between faiths. This will develop their understanding of the cultural contexts within which they and others live.

PSHE aims to create a more thoughtful, spiritual, cooperative, compassionate generation of citizens who are skilful in resolving social, environmental, economic, and political world problems. At Haydock High School we aim to develop the whole child so that they are enterprising, resilient, creative problem solvers who can take their place in society and make a difference to the world.

“The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes” William James
