Chaplain

The School Chaplaincy Service complements our many existing pastoral care programmes. Chaplains are responsible for supporting the social, emotional and spiritual well being of students, regardless of faith or beliefs.  Our Chaplain provides support for a range of day to day matters affecting the school community. Chaplains are qualified in pastoral care and youth work.  They respect all people, no matter who they are, where they are from or what their personal belief system is.
