Spirituality is around thinking, expressing emotions and things that we cannot see. But yet, we need to find a way to define it collectively, so that we can ensure we provide opportunities for students to think about things that are more to being human than sensory experience.

Liz Mills, a primary teacher and Lead teacher for RE, uses the ‘donut analogy’ to help us to understand the concept of spirituality – the outside are the things that we can see, hear, touch – the tangible part of our humanity. The inside/hole – are the things that we cannot see, our emotions, or our soul. The outside only exists because of the inside/hole.
