Spirituality
"But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness". Galatians 5:22
Our children, governors and staff have been involved in writing our definition of spirituality:
Spirituality is an awareness that there is something greater than we are. It is a connection with the wonder and energy of life.
At Eastnor C of E Primary, spirituality is the heartbeat of our school. It is how we understand ourselves and our place in the world: recognising strengths, weaknesses and having confidence to challenge ourselves. We care for the local and global community and our Christian values underpin our learning and encourage children to ask ‘big questions’.
Worship and Prayer
Collective Worship is an integral part of life at Eastnor C of E Primary and we recognise the importance of making sure this special part of the school day is enjoyed by all members of the school community. To ensure that Collective Worship is valued, meaningful and enriching, the whole school regularly to visit St John The Baptist Church
Collective worship at Eastnor has a strong emphasis on Christianity however all sessions are conducted in a manner that is sensitive to everyone. We often welcome governors, parents, volunteers and members of the local community to join worship and special services.
Home School Values
Home School Values is a resource which allows us to share stories and a range of fun activities for the all family, linked to our Christian Values. By exploring each of our Christian Values at home, you are promoting your Child's Spiritual and Moral Development whilst learning and sharing time together.
Please take time to look at the activity sheets for each value we have learnt about this year.
