Spirited Arts

Thurrock Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (SACRE) launched a local competition in support of the national Spirited Arts 2023 competition organised by NATRE: the National Association of Teachers of Religious Education.

The themes for the Spirited Arts competition in 2023 were:

  • "We have far more in common with each other than that which divides us"
  • green faith, green future? ('God's good earth')
  • where is God today?
  • faith in action, values in action
  • sacred space and holy buildings
  • "all God's creatures?"

The document below includes artworks by Thurrock pupils who were either winners, runners-up or highly commended in the local competition.
