Moorlands Church of England Primary Academy aims to support children in making sense of themselves and the world around them. We aim to help them observe their own responses to different experiences. Our school believes that experiences, both in and out of school, are important to the development of all pupils.
Our curriculum helps children to consider big, sometimes overwhelming, concepts such as life, death, identity, war, environmental factors etc. but without necessarily offering answers.
These opportunities come through the teaching and learning of our whole school curriculum and the enactment of our core values.
What is Spirituality?
‘Spirituality is the capacity to notice wonder and mystery, reflect on what matters, and feel connected to others, the world and something beyond ourselves.’
Spirituality Framework
We use four key areas to support spiritual development:
Self
- Who am I?
- What makes me unique?
- How do I understand my thoughts, feelings and beliefs?
Others
- How do I relate to other people?
- How can I show kindness, compassion and forgiveness?
- What can I learn from different people and perspectives?
World
- What inspires awe and wonder?
- How can I care for the world around me?
- What beauty can I notice and appreciate?
Beyond
- What are life’s big questions?
- What lies beyond what we can see and understand?
- How do people express faith, belief and spirituality?
