Lessons in Spiritual Development

Positive spiritual development is an obligation on all schools and this book documents how ten leading Christian-ethos secondary schools have developed programmes to ensure the spiritual development of their students.

Christian-ethos schools are those that aspire to be distinctively Christian whilst serving a diverse student population from varied religious backgrounds, and those of no religious affiliation. They are therefore well placed to offer insights in this key area.

Each chapter tells the story of how one of the schools approaches this responsibility, showing the variety of innovation and creativity taking place within spiritual education, including input from practitioners on the opportunities and challenges for influencing spiritual development in their schools.

It offers inspiration to other schools wishing to improve their provision for spiritual development.
