Sprituality

The ultimate questions children should be encouraged to answer are;

Who am I?

Where do I fit in?

Why am I here?

A strong shared understanding of spiritual development inspires a culture where pupils think deeply. They have a well-developed understanding of how they relate to themselves, to others, to the wider world and to God. As a governor noted, ‘at this school, spiritual development is about our children being able to value and accept themselves and each other, even in difficult times’ (SIAMS inspection comment Dec 2019 – school assessed as Excellent)

The mirror – is about ‘looking in’ and self improvement or reflection.

The door – is about moving onward with a practical action for the future.
