A Ministry of Presence
The vision for school chaplaincy in this diocese, is that every child and member of the school community, should be able to have access to a School Chaplain or School Chaplaincy Team at some point in their school life. The reasons for this are many and varied. Anecdotal evidence suggests that people who undertake roles as School Chaplains or who become part of a School Chaplaincy team, can have significant impact on the lives of children and young people.
