Spirituality at St John's

OUR VISION  

  

“I came that they may have life, life in all its fullness”. 

John 10:10  

Our vision for our school is built on this quotation from the Gospel of John.  

  

At St John’s Church of England Primary School, Lemsford we are striving to be a community in which everyone is enabled to have a full life centred on God’s love: a life of opportunity, fulfilment and service to others.  

 

Our shared understanding of Spirituality as a school community 

 At St John’s, we share the Christian belief that everyone is a valued creation; a Child of God. This belief inspires all that we do, helping us as a family to aspire to live life abundantly and to help each other to do so. It is also what underpins our ethos of inclusivity and nurture, seeking to know and develop the whole child in order to help them reach their full potential.   

 

Through on-going discussion, everyday school life and reflection we are continually developing our understanding of spirituality.  

 

As a community we believe spirituality is about. 

 

  • Relationships – to ourselves, to others, to the world and to God.  

  • The uniqueness of every one of us. 

  • Finding calm in the storm. 

  • Looking up to God, looking within ourselves and looking out to others. 

  • God’s presence in our head, hands and our hearts, 

  • Asking questions. 

  • Feeling awe and wonder 

  • Moments of calm, leading to moments of wonder, leading to moments of happiness, leading to moments of belonging. 

  • Appreciating the beauty of the natural world
