🎨✨ Spirited Arts 2025 – Exploring Spirituality Through Creativity! ✨🎨

From our youngest 2-year-olds to our oldest Year 6s, every child in school has taken part in this year’s Spirited Arts competition, using their creativity to explore some of life’s biggest and most meaningful ideas.

Children across the school responded to a range of inspiring themes:

🐾 All God’s Creatures
🌍 Living in a Diverse World
⛪ Sacred Spaces
💭 Thinking About God

Using paint, clay, drawing, collage and mixed media, the children expressed their thoughts and questions in imaginative, beautiful and powerful ways. Their artwork explores big ideas like the wonder of animals and nature, the importance of community and difference, the feeling of being in a special or sacred space and how people picture or relate to God.

This project has given children the opportunity to explore spirituality in their own way - reflecting on what matters most to them, what they find awe-inspiring and how they connect with the world and people around them.

From colourful celebrations of life to thoughtful reflections on belief and belonging, each piece is a window into how our children see and make sense of the world - and their place in it. 🌈🕊️🖌️
