We welcome applications for this position from lay persons, as well as ordained Ministers of the Anglican Communion.
The School welcomes pupils of all faiths and none, and fosters mutual respect and understanding of the beliefs and traditions of others. Pupils are encouraged to be reflective, questioning, thoughtful, and open-minded in their encounters with religious and spiritual traditions.

The successful candidate would have a deep commitment to education and to making a contribution to the shaping of young people’s spiritual thinking and development.
The Chaplain’s leadership of weekday and Sunday services plays a central role in raising within the School community, awareness of and reflection on, some of the eternal ‘big questions’ of meaning and purpose, as well as promoting key values such as kindness, empathy and integrity.
A commitment to the boarding and co-curricular life of this thriving school is essential.
