Chapel

Both Senior and Prep Schools offer excellent ranges of extra-curricular activities to broaden the children's experience whilst having fun! A fantastic school, both of my girls can't wait to get to school on a morning!

"The spiritual development of pupils is excellent. Pupils have a strong moral sense."
(Independent Schools Inspectorate 2011)

With the school’s Christian ethos at the heart of much that we do, the School Chapel is an important extension to Prep School, placed conveniently next to our boarding house at the centre of the school community.

With the School Chaplain leading a weekly service with the children taking an active role, they quickly develop a sense of belonging and it is seen as their Chapel. Important events of the school year including Harvest Festival, Christmas Nativity Plays and traditional Carol Services, Founders’ Day and End of Term Prize Givings are all eagerly anticipated, not forgetting the Pre-Prep ‘wedding’.

Pupils in the Chapel Choir perform weekly at Sunday services, where the boarders attend as part of their weekend routine.
