Free governor briefing on how SMSC and British Values align with the 2025 Ofsted framework. Ideal for leadership teams preparing for inspection and strengthening personal development.

This free briefing pack from the National Quality Mark for SMSC & British Values is designed to helps governors and senior leaders understand how SMSC provision aligns with the latest Ofsted inspection priorities and the 2025 curriculum developments.

The presentation explains the increased focus on inclusion, behaviour, attendance, personal development, leadership, and school culture, and shows how strong SMSC provision supports these key inspection areas.

It also outlines the growing importance of Citizenship education, including its introduction as a statutory subject in primary schools, and how this strengthens the teaching of British Values across the curriculum.
