Spirituality
What is spirituality?
Spirituality is a very personal experience. It differs from person to person, and often spirituality changes within people during their lifetime. Spirituality is not the same as having a religion or faith; a person can be spiritual without having a particular faith.
At Lindley CE Infant School, we have reflected upon different definitions of spirituality:
“Spirituality is not something we can see; it is something we feel inside ourselves. It is about awe and wonder, asking questions, inspiration and being aware of something ‘bigger’ outside of ourselves.”
As an infant school it is important that we use age appropriate language to define spirituality, so when talking to our children we will refer to:
· A sense of awe and wonder
· Care for nature and living things
· Wanting to love and to be loved by people
