Chapel

The Memorial Chapel is an iconic building in the College. It was built in 1954 as a memorial to those who lost their lives in World War II. Today it still maintains a special place in College life. It is a focus for our Christian ethos and is a place where the College family gathers to celebrate special occasions.

As well as weekly Religious Education in the classroom, all students attend a weekly daytime chapel.  The services are led by one of our three chaplains, The Reverend Hamish Galloway (College Chaplain), Mr Richard Carr (Assistant Chaplain and Head of Religious Education) and Mrs Jillian Fenton (Preparatory School Chaplain). The Developing Positive Relationships (DPR) values of compassion, faith, hope, honesty, respect, generosity and responsibility are often profiled in services. One of these values is a focus each term.

In addition to weekly services for students, there are Tuesday night boarders' services and a Sunday evening service each term for each year group, to which the families of students are invited.

The chapel is also used frequently for weddings, funerals and baptisms, for those with a connection to the wider school community.
