At All Saints Church School we recognise that the personal development of pupils, spiritually, morally, socially and culturally plays a significant part in their ability to learn and achieve. 

We aim to: 

• Provide a balanced, engaging and broad education that gives our children opportunities to explore and develop their own, values and beliefs, spiritual awareness. 

• Encourage a positive and caring attitude towards other people; an understanding of British Values and its social and cultural traditions as well as an appreciation of the diversity and richness of other cultures.  

Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development is promoted, not only through all the subjects of the curriculum, but also through the ethos of the school and our shared values. 

As a school, we use a scheme called Scarf to support us in our teaching.   

Scarf is more than a PSHE Scheme of Work. It provides a structured programme of personal development to nurture the ‘whole child’ and increase learning capacity, underpinned by mindfulness philosophy and practice.  

SCARF's whole-school approach supports us by giving us everything we need to meet the new Relationships Education and Health Education statutory requirements. More than just a PSHE scheme of work, SCARF supports great learning every day. SCARF represents our values for children of Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience and Friendship. 

Meeting all DfE requirements for statutory Relationships and Health Education, and mapped to the PSHE Association's Programme of Study, SCARF is a framework consisting of lesson plans, online planning, assessment and Ofsted tools to give busy teachers skills and confidence to embed a comprehensive Relationships and Health Education, PSHE Education and Wellbeing programme throughout the primary years. SCARF is a whole-school approach to promoting behaviour, safety, achievement and well-being.  

We provide many opportunities to encourage our children  to explore and promote the British values of democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of others. 

Annually, our year 6 pupils take place in a mock trial at the Yeovil Magistrate’s Court Mock Trial Competition. This involves a group of children representing All Saints Church school in different roles, such as: usher, magistrate, defence solicitor, defendant, defence witness, witness care, press reporter and court artist. It is an exciting venture that inspires children to witness different jobs and experience a real life trial scenario.
