Our Pupil Chaplains are a very dedicated team who have a vital role in enhancing the Religious Life of our school. Their roles include delivering class prayer and liturgy, leading prayers and reflections in assemblies and Liturgical events, planning and delivering our school broadcast, and supporting charities and fundraising events. They are excellent role models for the younger pupils in our school.
