A reflective space is a soothing and tranquil retreat where children can ‘be still’ and calmly focus their mind in thought, prayer or meditation. It is a place that can provide opportunities for children to explore their spirituality, to ponder ‘big’ questions and express feelings such as gratitude and forgiveness.
We have a space available in each class where children can take a few minutes’ time out, and a reflection station in the school hall where children can use resources to help them respond to things we have discussed in Collective Worship. We have refurbished the Peace Garden as an outside area that children can use in a variety of ways during their break times to retreat from the bustle of the school playground and have time to talk and think.
