Spirituality
Jennett’s Park CE Primary School is a community woven together to flourish and achieve. As a church school we are guided by the Christian faith and values, however, we are an inclusive environment that enables all children and adults to engage in spiritual development for all and to “live life in all its fullness”. Spiritual development is interwoven throughout the curriculum, through prayer, stillness, worship and reflection.
Spiritual reflection is not dependent on religious affiliation but aims to embrace fundamental questions about the meaning and purpose of life and to nurture ourselves, one another, the world around us and beyond.
We use ‘ Wow Ow and Now’ to help explain spirituality.
