Chaplaincy
Chaplains are individuals or teams from a faith community, serving a particular community. Chaplains can be found in schools and colleges across the UK in a range of different styles, offering pastoral care, spiritual guidance, a friendly face and a listening ear to children, young people and staff.
We engage with Christian Chaplains in all types of schools and colleges through our training courses, events and networks. We are encouraged that Chaplains interact with so many people every day and are often found in the Growing Faith space - at the intersections of school, church and home.
Training &
Events
Explore the Apprenticeship in Chaplaincy and Youth Ministry from St Mary’s University Twickenham and the National Society for Education, a two-year course for school and college chaplains.
We are currently piloting the Growing Faith Discovering Chaplaincy Course with two full pilot cohorts. This course is our contribution to helping people understand the exciting vocation of school and college chaplaincy.
