Spirituality

At Wolvey, we believe spirituality is at the heart of our identity as a Church of England school and a key aspect of our children's holistic development. Spirituality at Wolvey is about creating time and space for awe, wonder, reflection and connection — with ourselves, with each other, with the natural world, and, for many, with God.

We nurture spirituality through our collective worship, the rich use of reflection areas, and through a curriculum that values meaning, creativity and deep thinking. Our Christian values — Reconciliation and Trinity (community) — guide how we live well together and support pupils in exploring life’s big questions in a safe, inclusive and respectful way.

Spiritual development is also supported through moments of stillness, prayer, storytelling, and by celebrating the diverse beliefs and backgrounds of our school community.

As a result, spirituality at Wolvey is not an add-on, but a thread that runs through the life of the school — enriching relationships, enhancing learning, and helping our children to flourish and feel valued as individuals.

. We use a 'relational consciousness' model in which the children consider:

• Relationship with themselves
• Relationship with others
• Relationship with nature and the world
• Relationship with God and beyond

Collective Worship at Wolvey

At Wolvey, Collective Worship is enriched using Picture News e-resources, linking real-life events with biblical reflections. These engaging resources help pupils explore current affairs through a moral and spiritual lens, fostering critical thinking and ethical discussions.

Each week, a topical news story is introduced, encouraging pupils to reflect on global and local issues. Thought-provoking questions promote discussion, helping children consider different perspectives and relate them to Christian values. Bible stories and teachings are integrated, providing moral guidance and deeper meaning.

Through assemblies and class reflections, pupils develop a strong sense of empathy, justice, and responsibility. They are encouraged to apply their learning to everyday life, making meaningful connections between faith and the wider world. This approach strengthens the school’s Christian ethos while preparing children to be thoughtful, informed, and compassionate individuals in society.
