Spirituality at Walsham le Willows CEVC Primary School
What is Spirituality?
Spirituality is about 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 but a deep part of us.
To be in touch with your spiritual self means that you are self aware. Inevitably, spirituality requires reflection, introspection, questioning and engagement with ideas.
Beyond academic learning, we can support children to be founded, strong, meaningful and engaging citizens of the world who can bring greater value into their own lives and those of others.

➢ Enter into relationships
