Spiritual Development at Coningsby St Michael’s

At Coningsby St Michael’s, we believe that spirituality is the unique way you connect with yourself, others, nature, and what you believe lies beyond our world—giving you a sense of purpose, belonging, and meaning. This understanding of spirituality is central to our approach to Collective Worship and underpins our commitment to nurturing the whole child.

We recognise that spiritual development is a vital part of every pupil’s growth and wellbeing. Through Collective Worship and daily classroom practice, we aim to:

• Encourage self-reflection: Helping pupils explore their thoughts, feelings, values, and beliefs in a safe and respectful environment.
• Foster connection: Creating opportunities for pupils to build meaningful relationships with others and develop empathy, compassion, and respect.
• Celebrate the natural world: Inspiring awe, wonder, and responsibility through reflection on the beauty and complexity of nature.
• Explore belief and purpose: Providing space for pupils to consider life’s big questions, engage with different worldviews, and develop their own sense of meaning.
