How do we define spirituality?
At Great Gaddesden CE (VA) Primary School, we define spirituality as a holistic journey, offering a space to develop, reflect and explore the depths of our being.
It involves the realisation and revealing of something innately within, a profound understanding that goes beyond the material world.
It encourages individuals to become aware of the world in all its wonder, embracing the interconnectedness of the world and our place within it.
Central to spirituality is empathising with others and cultivating inclusivity, recognising the shared humanity that binds us all together.
We provide opportunities for spiritual, moral and cultural development accross the curriculum, through our collective worship and also providing space and time to reflect spiritually throughout school life as well as ask and answer 'big' questions.
As part of our collective worship programme, we have a weekly ‘Big Question’. This links to the worship theme/value and the children are invited to share a reflection in the whole school reflection area throughout the week. These are then collated by our reflection ambassadors and shared at Church during the Friday service.
