Spirituality

Spirituality is a 'relational consciousness whereby individuals relate to self, others, the world around them and to a divine other' Rebecca Nye

At Leamington Hastings C of E Academy, the curriculum provides many opportunities for children to develop spiritually and develop an understanding of their own world view, whilst developing an understanding of the views and impact that others have on the world. At Leamington Hastings Academy, our aim is to give opportunities across the curriculum that enable every child to flourish and to live life in all its fullness (John 10:10). This is rooted in our school vision and Christian values, linked to The Parable of the Sower. Our teaching aims to maximise the outcomes for every child so they can learn, remember, understand and do more, exploring big questions about belief, ethics, how they connect to the world around them and how this affects their developing personal knowledge. Children are given opportunities to question, wonder, reflect and debate across the curriculum, in a range of ways to find their own spiritual pathway. Our aspiration is for children to leave us in year two with a good understanding of how they can be like the ‘good soil’, to have open hearts, curious minds and to care about their impact on the world around them. Our hope is that they will grow to challenge injustice, be fruitful to others and have the courage to be a force for good in their local communities.
