Free SMSC and British Values Audit Tool 2025

Strengthen your school’s SMSC and British Values provision with this powerful management tool, specifically designed by the National Quality Mark to support schools in improving SMSC outcomes for children, young people, and the entire educational community.

Designed with the latest Ofsted framework in mind, this resource empowers your school to conduct a thorough audit and evaluate your schools existing provision whilst helping to plan your next steps for your school development plan.

It’s structured into 8 key standards, making it easy for your SMSC coordinator, in collaboration with subject and year group leaders, to assess and enhance your school’s offerings:

S1 Safeguarding & Induction
S2 Leadership & Governance
S3 Attendance
S4 Behaviour (including Pastoral support)
S5 Inclusion
S6 Curriculum
S7 Personal Development
S8 Developing Teaching & Learning

Each standard is further broken down into clear sub-standards, allowing for precise grading using the ‘Emerging’, ‘Evolving’, ‘Established’, and ‘Exemplary’ levels. Alongside each standard is a list of recommended reference points which you can use to help you gather the evidence you will need to evaluate your provision.

This tool is your definitive guide to achieving excellence in SMSC and Modern British Values.

When you download this free resource, you will have access to a detailed guide on how to complete your school audit as well as the first two sections so that you can explore and evaluate whether the audit tool aligns with your school’s needs. This is supported through an accompanying PowerPoint which introduces the man, a website and a facebook group, where you can discuss any issues that arise.

You can then decide whether you wish to purchase the full version for £30 and access our additional support through CPD and verification for the National Quality Mark for SMSC and British Values: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-13333972

Why SMSC & British Values?

The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) published “Schools with Soul,” a seminal report that championed the integration of Spiritual, Moral, Social, and Cultural (SMSC) development as a cornerstone of the education system. In our current societal landscape, marked by nascent divisions and a growing need for mutual understanding, the emphasis on SMSC is more critical than ever. It serves as a vital framework for fostering empathy, critical thinking, and a shared sense of community among young people, preparing them to navigate and contribute positively to a complex world.
