SMSC
Our Commitment to Holistic Education
At Intuition Holistic Education, we are committed to nurturing the whole child, ensuring that our pupils not only excel academically but also develop as well-rounded individuals. Our focus on Spiritual, Moral, Social, and Cultural (SMSC) development is central to this commitment.

Moral Development: Helping pupils understand ethical issues, respect the law, and develop a sense of fairness and justice.
