The Human Values Foundation is a leading supplier of practical teaching materials that help schools embed a progressively stimulating values-based culture. Since 1995 it has been providing transformative, holistic, cross-curricular programmes for ages 4 to 14. The carefully structured modules enrich behaviour management, integrating learning components such as Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) development; Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education; Citizenship; fundamental British values; and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). Each lesson plan fosters a growth mindset and positive attitude, building young citizen’s confidence and self-esteem and a “fluency in values” that enhances all aspects of their personal development.
