We will also look athow pupils can have a vital role in ensuring Collective Worship is the heartbeat of the school being ambassadors for Collective Worship in school and beyond. \n\n\n\nWe will aim to: \n\n\n\n\n	consider the question: ‘What is worship?’\n	examine the legal framework of worship\n	investigate practical ways to create different experiences of worship\n	explore ways in which Collective Worship is a whole way of life\n	explore the role pupils can have in being an ambassador for\n	Collective Worship\n	explore the possibility of Eucharist within schools.\n\n\n\n\nTo Book: forms.cloud.microsoft/e/feqwEkaGpA

SUMMARY:DBE: Empowering Pupils to Challenge Injustice
DESCRIPTION:Empowering pupils to challenge the injustice that they see is an important aspect of enabling children to flourish in school. SIAMS asks us how well the school’s Christian vision creates an active culture of justice and responsibility. But what do we mean by justice and how do we empower pupils and adults to make a difference in our world? \n\n\n\nThis course will look at what we mean by biblical justice. We will also look at how SIAMS inspection question 5 explores the culture of justice in schools. \n\n\n\nThis session aims to: \n\n\n\n\n	develop an understanding of biblical justice and its impact on society\n	explore how we might begin to create a culture of justice\n	understand how this fits in an educational and theological context\n	look at how we might challenge injustice both in and out of school\n	understand how children can be empowered to challenge injustice\n	locally\, nationally and globally.\n\n\n\n\nTo Book: forms.cloud.microsoft/e/21VDJetfDN

SUMMARY:DBE: Developing an Approach to Spirituality
DESCRIPTION:Developing spirituality is a key part to helping children\, young people\, and adults to flourish in all that they do in school. The current SIAMS Framework requires spirituality to be developed separately from moral\, social\, and cultural education. Understanding spirituality continues to be a common SIAMS area of development nationally. \n\n\n\nThis course will consider what spirituality is and help delegates to begin to create a shared common language for spirituality within their school that maintains the integrity of Christianity whilst being inclusive to all faiths and none. \n\n\n\nFollowing this course delegates may find Spirituality in the Curriculum and Beyond on Wednesday 4th March 2026 also of interest. However\, each course can be attended as a stand-alone session. \n\n\n\nTo Book: forms.cloud.microsoft/e/C3hKdnvYJN
