Chapliancy Team 2024 - 2025

The Chaplaincy Team for this year at Alex, Kei, Emilia, Olivia M, Bora, Kelace, Adam G, Olivia S and Maria.

Our Chapliancy Team will play an important role in enhancing and promoting our school values alongside our faith to pupils, staff and the wider community. All of our chaplains take joy in wearing their Chaplaincy badge and carrying out different responsibilities.

The Chaplaincy Team meet regularly to review their aims and consider different ways in which they are strengthening our mission, deepening our faith and enabling inclusion.

The Chaplaincy Team Aims to:

To help the school to grow as a community of faith.
To encourage the pupils to live their faith in daily living.
To support Liturgy, prayer and the spiritual life of the school.
To involve pupils in fundraising for charities.
To continue to develop strong links with the Parish.
To support the school in its Mission Statement and values

Our meetings give a chance for every Chaplain to share their ideas and together we make decisions about how we can promote the Catholic ethos in the school. Chaplains will have the chance to lead prayer in whole school assemblies and masses, plan and lead charity events throughout the year, monitor class prayer areas and class display boards and help plan prayer events for key points of the Liturgical seasons.

School Council 2024 - 2025

All children can access the School Council through regular class meetings to discuss ideas about how they can improve the school. Each year group has two representatives who are elected by the class to represent them on the School Council. The representatives attend School Council meetings where they voice the opinions of their class. Decisions are made and actions are taken, the representatives then feedback the information to their class. The children undertake an annual questionnaire so that they have the opportunity to give us feedback on every aspect of the school. We refer to this when we plan developments for the school.
