BUILDING ON A CHRISTIAN FOUNDATION: NURTURING FAITH, CHARACTER, AND UNITY

At Cornerstone Junior Schools, we are proud of our Christian foundation, which serves as the guiding force in our pursuit of nurturing spiritual growth, character development, and fostering unity among our diverse student body.

Recognizing the importance of individual spiritual journeys, we provide a supportive and inclusive environment that welcomes pupils from all religious backgrounds. We celebrate and respect the diversity of beliefs within our school community, fostering an atmosphere of understanding, acceptance, and mutual respect.

Our commitment to Christian values is exemplified through various practices and opportunities for pupils to explore and deepen their faith. Through classroom prayers, devotional assemblies, and specialized catechesis classes for Anglicans and Catholics, pupils have the chance to engage in meaningful discussions and learn more about their respective religious traditions.

We believe that a strong spiritual foundation is built not only through knowledge but also through experiential learning. Pupils are encouraged to memorize Bible verses, participate in praise and worship, and engage in acts of service inspired by their faith. These activities provide opportunities for personal reflection, growth, and a deeper connection to their spiritual beliefs.

To further promote unity and understanding, we value the contributions of pupils from different religious backgrounds. Muslim pupils are provided dedicated spaces for Friday prayers, creating an inclusive environment that recognizes and respects their religious practices.

Additionally, different religious leaders and passionate chapel team play a pivotal role in guiding and supporting our pupils’ spiritual journeys. Their dedication and commitment ensure that pupils receive the guidance, mentorship, and pastoral care necessary for their personal and spiritual development.

Culminating the spiritual experience is our weekly church service held every Sunday at school. This communal gathering allows pupils to come together as a community, irrespective of their religious affiliations, to celebrate their faith, find solace, and strengthen their sense of belonging.

At Cornerstone  we strive to ensure that every student feels comfortable expressing their beliefs and experiences a sense of belonging, irrespective of their faith background. By nurturing spiritual growth, promoting character development, and fostering unity, we empower our pupils to live lives rooted in love, compassion, and understanding.
