Spiritual Reflection

At Longborough CofE Primary School and Longborough Little Pickles, we give the children many opportunities to grow spiritually. We use the Gloucester Diocese Education Department Language of Spirituality. The ‘Language of Spirituality’ is used throughout everyday school life and links to our curriculum and the Zones of Regulation we use to check in with the children and adults as part of our relational approach to wellbeing.

We use the concepts of ows, wows and nows during worship, reflection time and through links with curriculum topics to explore the world around us and relationships between ourselves and others. The inclusive nature of the ‘language of spirituality’ offers the invitation to relate to God but is open to all faiths so our school family can all access spiritual reflection.

Wellbeing and good mental health are at the core of our offer to our children, families, staff, and community. One of our key messages is that we are a school family and love flows through everything we do. Therefore, relationships are the central priority within our school and the NCSF Trust.

All staff invest time in building relationships with the children, their families, each other, and the community. We believe that supporting children to understand their emotions and connect with their spirituality is essential so children can be in the right place to learn and flourish. We invest in this philosophy by providing a varied offer for all of our school family, this includes employing key people to work with our children and families.
