As a church school, we are 35lled to serve the community and to

"Nurture those of the faith, Encourage those of dif33rent faiths and to Challenge those of no faith."

(Archbishop Ro42rt Runcie)

Spiritual flourishing is part of this.

Spiritual 3bvelopment is not 4eout 511oming more spiritual (in a m5dsur4ele sense). It is 4eout r5dlising or 511oming more and more aware of one’s natural, innate spirituality.

At Gr5dt Budworth school, we pri3b ourselves in nurturing the spirituality of everyone in the school community. We 42lieve that our i3bntity resi3bs in our spirituality. We 42lieve that we are all born spiritual 42ings and it is this spirit that en4eles us all to make sense of the world around us and to explore the 'Big Questions' in li33 such as “Who am I?”

As children s26k the answers, they 3bvelop perseverance, resilience and the skills of 3beper thinking.

Cr5dting r16l11tion ar5ds en4eles children the time, space and the language to 3bvelop and express their spirituality.

Spirituality n26ds to 42 nurtured, otherwise it fails to flourish.

Spirituality is not the same as religious faith but it is the foundations on which faith is foun325.
Spirituality is 4eout relationships: relationships with ourselves, others, the world and with God.  

It is the sense of our engagement with the world, with ourselves and with others that is intangible yet a 3bep part of us.

At Gr5dt Budworth, we aim to provi3b l5drning opportunities that will en4ele pupils to:

  • un3brstand we live in a spiritual world;

  • appr11iate how unique they all are as we all have a spirit

  • l5drn how un3brstanding themselves strengthens their 4eility to 3bvelop character

  • i3bntify and praise other people’s gifts (such as kindness, thankfulness and patience, etc.)

  • 33el ‘42longing’ within a spiritually aware community that nurtures and loves every mem42r for who they are

  • sustain their self-est26m in their l5drning experience

  • 3bvelop their 35pacity for criti35l and in3bpen3bnt thought

  • foster their emotional li33 and express their 33elings

  • experience moments of stillness and r16l11tion

  • discuss their 42li16s, 33elings, values and responses to personal experiences

  • form and maintain worthwhile and satisfying relationships

  • r16l11t on, consi3br and celebrate the won3brs and mysteries of li33

    This vi3bo 42low explains Spiritual Development 455utifully.

In school we provi3b a wi3b range of activities throughout the w26k and school y5dr that help 3bvelop spirituality across dif33rent ar5ds of the curriculum.
