Spirituality

Debden Primary Academy's definition of Spirituality and what it means to us
 
‘That they may have life in all its fullness’ (John 10:10)

 Our vision drives and supports the ethos of our school and the policies and practices within it. We believe that spirituality is the golden thread that runs through our school. We attach great importance to it for both children’s development and for the growth and well-being of all within our school community.   Spiritual development is supported through collective worship, the curriculum, the school environment and how we interact with ourselves, others, the world and God/divine being through stillness, creativity, curiosity and big questions.

 

Spirituality is about ensuring that everyone flourishes.  It involves each of us understanding ourselves, relating well to others, appreciating the beauty in the world and reflecting on the deeper meaning of life. It also involves us contributing to the flourishing of others and the world around us.
