Spiritual Development in your School - a checklist
- Has it been discussed in staff and governor meetings?
- Is there a policy?
- In planning across the curriculum does the school provide opportunities to:
- listen, reflect and puzzle?
- consider their own feelings, likes and dislikes?
- develop personal beliefs and values?
- show insights into deep questions about life, change and death?
- engage in activities which involve questioning, valuing, creating, empathising and imagining?
- immerse themselves in constructive work, sacrificing immediate self-interest?
- develop an understanding of their relationships with those near and far?
- enjoy exploring diversity and difference?

Spiritual Development across the Curriculum
In 1998 Somerset Education Development Service produced a very useful folder entitled Spiritual Development - Building opportunities for spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. A copy was sent to all Somerset schools.
Other useful ideas can be found on the National Curriculum website at www.nc.uk.net/webdav/servlet/XRM?Page/@id=6011.
