We aim to prepare the children for the opportunities, experiences and responsibilities of life. We want to prepare children in school for life in modern Britain by developing an age related, appropriate awareness of the four fundamental British Values of: Democracy, Rule of Law, Individual Liberty and Mutual Respect and Tolerance of different faiths and beliefs. ## Implementation We have a broad and balanced school curriculum underpinned by spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding and values. There are numerous different ways in which GV children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is facilitated. These are just a few of the many possible examples. RE lessons (SACRE), religious visits, people and communities (EYFS), special Assemblies such as Diwali, Birmingham City Mission, Eid, Nativity, Easter, and Remembrance. Celebration days such as Diwali, Eid, and Christmas. Awareness days such as well-being day, black history and anti-bullying. PSHE lessons, picture news, celebration assemblies, golden rules, studying famous artists, music concerts, collaborative activities, studying the work of famous artists, engagement with charities and health education. We also have different teams such as safeguarding champions, health ambassadors and a school council. ## Impact At Grove Vale, we envision our curriculum impacting the pupils by providing them with opportunities and experiences which prepare the children for the responsibilities of life. We envision preparing the children for modern Britain by developing an age related, appropriate awareness of the four fundamental British Values. We aim to develop young people individually alongside developing society as a whole. This allows them to make sense of their world outside of the classroom and our curriculum helps develop an informed and balanced view on world events, beliefs and values of others. #### SMSC Subject Overviews ### SMSC Subject Documents Computing and Online Safety SMSC 259 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/files/documents/SMSC_Computing_(1).docx) English SMSC 257 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/files/documents/SMSC_English_(1).docx) SMSC Science 257 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/files/documents/SMSC_Science.docx) SMSC PE 258 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/files/documents/SMSC_PE.docx) SMSC Maths 258 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/files/documents/SMSC_Maths.docx) SMSC Geography 257 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/files/documents/SMSC_Geography.docx) PSHE SMSC 256 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/files/documents/SMSC_-_PSHE.docx) History SMSC 257 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/files/documents/SMSC_-_History.docx) RE SMSC 257 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/files/documents/SMSC_-_GV_RE.docx) DT SMSC 259 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/files/documents/SMSC_-_GV_DT.docx) Art SMSC 259 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/files/documents/SMSC_-_GV_ART.docx) ### SMSC and PSHE Policies SMSC Policy 235 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/files/documents/SMSC_Policy_2022.doc) RSE Policy 351 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/files/documents/RSHE_policy_2026.pdf) PSHE Policy 168 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/files/documents/PSHE_policy_2024(1).pdf) Drugs Policy 214 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/files/documents/Drugs_policy_2021.doc) ### Feel Good Friday Overview Feel Good Friday Overview 261 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/files/documents/FGF_Plan_24-25.docx) ### [Latest News](https://grovevale.co.uk/news) [![Image of Nursery and Reception Open Day 5th November 2026](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/logo-2.png)](https://grovevale.co.uk/news/2026-06-11-nursery-and-reception-open-day-5th-november-2026) #### [Nursery and Reception Open Day 5th November 2026](https://grovevale.co.uk/news/2026-06-11-nursery-and-reception-open-day-5th-november-2026) 11 June 2026 [![Image of September 2026 Starters](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/logo-2.png)](https://grovevale.co.uk/news/2026-04-18-september-2026-starters) #### [September 2026 Starters](https://grovevale.co.uk/news/2026-04-18-september-2026-starters) 18 April 2026 [![Image of Partnerships With UNICEF ](https://files.schudio.com/grove-vale-primary-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/unicef.jpg)](https://grovevale.co.uk/news/2024-09-19-partnerships-with-unicef) #### [Partnerships With UNICEF ](https://grovevale.co.uk/news/2024-09-19-partnerships-with-unicef) 19 September 2024 ### Contact Us **Grove Vale Primary School** Monksfield Avenue Great Barr Birmingham B43 6AL Tel: 01213574319 - [CEOP](http://www.ceop.police.uk/) - [Think You Know](http://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/) - [Department for Education](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education) - [Action for Children](http://www.actionforchildren.org.uk/) © Copyright 2017–2026 Grove Vale Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://grovevale.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
