Our Chaplaincy Team 2024-2025
Harvest Celebrations
We exceed in our giving to the Harvest festival this year. It has been amazing to see how giving we have been as a school and have helped so many people. The Chaplaincy Team did a fantastic job at collecting and delivering all your harvest donations to the Hope and Padley Centre. Thank you to the Hope Centre for letting us visit and see all the amazing things you do for other people. Thank you so much for ALL your donations, we have made a huge difference to other peoples lives.

The whole school raised £220 for Jeans for Genes. This is fantastic! Here are some of the Chaplaincy in their jeans!!
Remembrance – Celebration of the World
It was so beautiful to see the Chaplaincy team reflect on why it is important remember. We shared with the whole school that we celebrate Remembrance day as a way of saying thank you. We look back back to the past and remember the sacrifice those people made for us. We can also learn from the past as it is important that we talk about it and understand why we wear poppies to help us remember.
Faith in Action
This year, the chaplaincy team are completing the Faith in Action Award. They will complete the pin level and earn credits for actions taken in school and the community. This will contribute towards deepening their faith to as missionary disciples with Christ. We are very busy gathering our 4 action points.
Our first action point is based on how we live a life of serving others. Jesus came to us a leader and a king, but not one we would recognise today. Jesus came to use a servant king, a peaceful ruler, clothed in humility, love and mercy. In our first reflection point, we want to explore what it means to be a good leader and how we can be co-workers with Jesus and be his body on earth.
Adoration and Reconciliation
As part of our Lenten journey and in alignment with Bishop Patrick’s theme of Forgiveness, we guided the entire school in a prayerful Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Father Alan joined us and offered both pupils and staff the opportunity for Reconciliation. The response was overwhelming, with so many participants that Father Alan graciously returned for a second session to accommodate everyone.
Crowning of Mary
On the 1st of May, we gathered in the hall to honour Mary and reflect on her life. Together, we took part in a Visio Divina, focusing on the joyful mysteries. It was a special time to remember Mary’s significance, not only as the mother of Jesus but also as a guiding and loving figure in our own lives.
