Developing Spirituality – Look In, Look Out, Look Up

Alongside Collective Worship, we are developing a shared approach to spiritual development through Look In, Look Out, Look Up.

Look In encourages pupils to notice and reflect on their own thoughts, feelings, experiences, values and sense of identity.

Look Out encourages pupils to notice and respond to others and the world around them, developing empathy, compassion, awe and wonder, and considering questions of justice, responsibility and care.

Look Up provides opportunities to explore questions of meaning, purpose, faith and transcendence, including the Christian understanding of God.

The three dimensions are interconnected and support pupils to develop a richer understanding of themselves, their relationships, the world and, within our Christian context, their relationship with God.

We are developing opportunities for spiritual growth not only through Collective Worship and RE, but throughout the curriculum and wider life of the school, including outdoor learning, times of stillness, reflection, relationships, special experiences and opportunities to serve others.
