At Riverside Meadows Academy, children benefit from a flexible Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) curriculum that builds on what they understand and know already.  We believe that exposure, not only to culture but also to situations in which the children might not have previous experiences of, is of paramount importance to their ongoing successes.

Cultural capital is the accumulation of knowledge, behaviours, and skills that a child can draw upon and which demonstrates their cultural awareness, knowledge and competence; it is one of the key ingredients a pupil will draw upon to be successful in society, their career and the world of work.

Gradually widening children’s experiences as they progress through school is an important step in providing rich and engaging learning across the curriculum.
