Spiritual, Moral, Social, Cultural (SMSC) Education

At Salford City Academy, we are wholly committed to fostering an experience which enables students to develop as well-rounded individuals. Paramount to this is our SMSC offer, which runs as a thread across the entire school. SMSC is not taught as a discrete curriculum subject, rather it is actively promoted within all subject areas and beyond. The below examples do not constitute an exhaustive list, but are an illustration of some aspects of the provision at SCA.
