St Anselm's Catholic Primary School Inspire to Aspire
SMSC
Spiritual, moral, and social development in history plays a crucial role in helping pupils understand the ethical, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of the world they live in.
By studying historical events, figures, and movements, pupils are encouraged to reflect on the values and beliefs that have shaped societies throughout time. This understanding fosters empathy, respect for diverse cultures, and a deeper appreciation of human rights and justice. It also helps pupils to develop their own sense of morality, guiding them in making thoughtful and responsible decisions in their daily lives.
Learning about history in this context enables pupils to become well-rounded individuals who can contribute positively to their communities and the wider world.
