“That they may have life; life in all its fullness” (John 10:10).
At Burton School, we understand the importance of developing the Spirituality of all of our learners. We recognise that this is an ongoing process without a fixed destination and that Spirituality need not be linked to any particular faith.
We aim to provide opportunities, right across the curriculum, for pupils to develop their curiosity, be creative, ask questions, reflect on their experiences and change their perspectives.
We explore different aspects of our growth as spiritual beings through worship using the Diocesan model:
