Spirituality days in Primary Schools

Category: Other News

 

In the UK, the 1988 Education Act acknowledged that spiritual development should be open to everyone and is to do with relationships with other people, the big questions of life, and for believers, with God. The classroom should be an arena for this spiritual development.

However for teachers swimming in a sea of objectives, targets, tests and a full curriculum this presents a challenge. Ruth Wills writes about how she is able to facilitate spiritual development through the curriculum through her 'RE days' for primary pupils that engage with spiritual and Christian themes.
