Chaplaincy

ChapelChrist's School is a Church of England voluntary-aided secondary school. It is an inclusive Christian community committed to developing Christian values through everything that we do. 

We recognise that members of our community might not share our faith but we ask for a commitment to our values. It is these shared values which have shaped Christ’s over recent years and which give Christ’s school its distinctive character. All are welcome, regardless of faith background and belief, and we strive to develop mutual understanding and respect between faiths whilst supporting staff and students in nurturing their own faith. Our chapel is at the heart of the spiritual life of our school, offering a dedicated space to support all those exploring or practising faith. 

Collective Worship is a central feature of our life at Christ’s School having regular acts of worship to mark the Christian liturgical year and significant school events.  Through Collective worship we explore themes related to our values.  Each day a tutor group has a prayer and a reflection, setting the tone for the day.  This usually takes place in tutor time but regular assemblies offer a longer opportunity for worship, celebration and reflection.

Students and staff are encouraged not only to learn about our values but also to live them. Throughout their years at Christ’s School, students have ample opportunities to reflect upon their development, both academic and personal. Behaviour and relationships in school are guided by our values and lapses in behaviour are measured against them. The principles of ‘Ready Respectful, Safe’ underpin the values of ‘Love, Justice and Peace’ at Christ’s School.

Religious Education is at the heart of our values, with a particular focus on building positive relationships, exploring life's questions and developing awareness - not only learning about religion, but also learning from religion. Students at Christ's are encouraged to take on responsibility as active global citizens, working to raise money for charities and supporting local community groups.

Because of our Christian ethos, we approach each student as a valued individual and support them to develop their God-given potential. We encourage in students a sense of respect for people from other cultures, experiences and backgrounds and a desire to serve and to use their gifts and talents well. Jesus said " I have come that they may have life, life in all it's fullness" (John 10 v 10).

Christ’s School is outward-facing and we seek to serve the local community wherever the opportunity may arise.  We work alongside other bodies to share our resources and to promote the common good in Richmond. The Church is strongly represented on the governing body and there is a strong partnership with Richmond team ministry Churches and Holy Trinity Richmond.
