A Whole School Chaplaincy Model

St. Mary's adopts a whole school chaplaincy model where every child in school is invited to be a chaplain. Each child plays a vital role in enhancing the values of our Catholic faith in Jesus with Mary's help and guided by the Holy Spirit.  All children take joy in planning, participating and leading Prayer and Liturgy throughout the year, as well as taking part in Liturgical Celebrations and reaching out to our local, national and wider communities.

Our School Chaplain is Mrs Fernandes
