We strongly believe that children are more likely to reach their potential if they are happy, have fun, feel nurtured and grow from a foundation of strong Christian Values. As educators, our aim is to guide the children in our care along the path of life.  As children develop their understanding of spirituality and values, they become more secure and then strong enough to make mistakes and learn from them, moving on in their spiritual learning and academic growth. We are a highly inclusive school and welcome all faiths, cultures and children from any background.

​

Our children, governors and staff have been involved in writing our definition of spirituality:

​

Spirituality is an awareness that there is something greater than we are.  It is a connection with the wonder and energy of life. It is how we understand ourselves and our place in the world, living with meaning and purpose.  We encourage the instinct to explore and find meaning, underpinned by our Christian values, to think theologically and explore ultimate questions.

Here at Cradley School, we believe we are on a journey. Spirituality drives our journey, as you travel through the classrooms and corridors of our school you will see how we understand ourselves, how we wonder about beauty in nature, the universe and beyond. The diverse relationships, adventures, opportunities and experiences we get along the way will help us to be the amazing beings that God created us to be.
