‘Do everything in love’ 1 Corinthians 16:14.

At this church school, we aim for all members of our inclusive school community to work together, where individuals feel valued and are encouraged to fulfil their hopes and aspirations, this includes their spiritual development.

Spirituality means different things to different people. 

As a school we focus on the idea of 4 concepts of spirituality: self, others, world and beauty and beyond. We plan a series of encounters/ learning experiences (Think it) that open up the possibility of reflection (Feel it). Finally, the children are given an opportunity to put into action what they believe and value (Live it). There are also ad-hoc moments of teaching to grasp the ‘Wows’ (things that are amazing) and ‘Ows’ (things that come up short).

We think it, we feel it, we live it!

At Butterwick CE Primary School we believe that it is very important to provide all children with a range of opportunities to help them develop spiritually. We believe that spiritual development may not be synonymous with Religious Education and Collective Worship and can be explored through many different curriculum areas (for more information on spirituality and the curriculum - go to the curriculum area of the website).

When planning for spiritual development we focus on 3 areas: What we think, What we feel and How we live.
