Spiritual Development
Pupils develop the knowledge, skills, understanding, qualities and attitudes they need to foster their own inner lives and non-material wellbeing. Our curriculum will give children the opportunity to:
- Spiritual - Explore beliefs, experience and faiths, feelings and values; enjoy learning about oneself, others and the surrounding world; use imagination and creativity and reflect on experiences
- Moral - Recognise right and wrong and respect the law; understand consequences; investigate moral and ethical issues and offer reasoned views
- Social - Use a range of social skills to participate in the local community and beyond; appreciate diverse viewpoints; participate, volunteer and cooperate; resolve conflict
- Cultural - Appreciate cultural influences; appreciate the role of Britain’s parliamentary system; participate in culture opportunities; understand, accept, respect and celebrate diversity
- Rule of law - Learn that all people and institutions are subject to and accountable for their actions and behaviour
- Individual liberty - Be free to express views or ideas
- Tolerance and respect - To respect and tolerate the opinions or behaviour of others
Throughout Springcroft Primary School, individuality is actively encouraged and celebrated. Pupils are encouraged to make their own decisions about all aspects of school life based on their own personal interests, strengths and values. We believe that our curriculum is inspiring; encouraging pupils to quickly develop a love of learning and to develop a sense of wonder. We learn from those who think differently to ourselves, and foster challenge of the status quo. Pupils have a strong sense of right and wrong, which underpins the outstanding behaviour evident in the school. All stakeholders are proud to be part of our school and enthusiastically join in with teaching, learning, school performances and extra-curricular activities.
Children understand that they can bring change to make the world a better place and be part of a system where everyone plays an equal part.
