Vision Spirituality Afternoon - Autumn 2025

As part of our Autumn term Spirituality Afternoon, children across the school explored our Christian vision statement and how it helps them flourish as individuals and as a community. Each class reflected on our vision statement, learned about St. Paul and his message in Romans 12:4–8 and discussed how everyone has different gifts that work together for the good of all. They also learned about St. Carlo Acutis, a modern teenager known as "God’s Influencer," who used his talents to serve God through digital media. Classes reflected on how they have lived out the vision this year, sharing real examples of kindness, teamwork, and growth. The afternoon was a meaningful opportunity for children to connect faith with everyday life and celebrate the unique gifts each person brings to our school family.

Prayer Spaces Spirituality Afternoon - Summer 2025 

During our summer term Spirituality Afternoon, the children built on their knowledge of prayer by designing and creating items for our outdoor prayer space. These thoughtful contributions were planned by the children and used in St. Paul’s 24/7 Prayer Tent, linking closely with our Year of Prayer. The experience not only deepened their understanding of prayer but also gave them the opportunity to create something meaningful that will be used in our own school prayer spaces throughout the year.

Prayer Spirituality Afternoon - Spring 2025

Our spring term Spirituality Afternoon focused on the Lord’s Prayer, with each class learning and reflecting on its meaning. Every class explored a different line of the prayer in depth, helping children to understand its message in a personal and meaningful way. Some classes created videos to share their reflections, while others wrote their own prayers in response. It was a special opportunity for children to engage creatively and spiritually with one of the most important prayers in the Christian faith.

Big Frieze Spirituality Afternoon - Autumn 2024

As part of our Spirituality Afternoon in Autumn 2024, each class started their panel of God's Big Story. All of our pieces have now been put together to create one big piece of art to show God's Big Story. The seven panels have been created by:

• Creation - EYFS
• The Fall - Year 6
• People of God - Year 5
• Incarnation - Year 1
• Gospel - Year 4
• Salvation - Year 2
• Kingdom of God - Year 3

The Big Frieze is designed to give teachers the opportunity to make children aware of the wider context of each Christian concept. Reminding pupils regularly of where a particular text occurs within the ‘big story’, by pointing it out on the Frieze, helps to build up a coherent understanding of the core concepts and the relationship between them. The artwork illustrates these concepts, from Creation to Kingdom of God, presenting a Christian view of the Bible as more than a collection of different texts – one which has an overarching coherence and story.
