520 |a Although Education Acts require schools in England and Wales to make provision for the spiritual development of pupils, there is continued debate about the meaning of the word 'spirituality' and what it should mean for schools. This article explores these issues using interview material collected from ten people from a variety of faiths and worldviews. The interviews documented individuals' personal understandings of spirituality. Synopses of these different accounts are presented here. The interviews also documented individuals' perceptions of spirituality for school and it was observed that these involved much greater agreement than the accounts of personal spirituality. Agreement was reached by a common shift of emphasis away from transcendent phenomena toward ethical values. The shift toward ethics and consensus is discussed here in relation to National Curriculum Council and OFSTED definitions of spirituality. It is suggested that a drive toward consensus is detrimental to the spirit of spiritualities.
