St Thomas More Catholic Primary School
Inspiration, Celebration and Education
Welcome to the Chaplaincy Team page. On this page you will meet the Chaplaincy Team and get a chance to see what they have been doing both in and out of school.
On Monday 18th November, some parishioners from St Thomas More parish came to visit school. The Year 5 and 6 Chaplaincy Team showed them around.
The Chaplaincy Team were described as ‘very knowledgeable, extremely polite and welcoming’. ‘Focussed, intelligent, committed to the school, conveyed information clearly’.

During the Commissioning of new Chaplaincy members Zuzanna and Nina read the reading of the day. They read with beautiful clarity. We are very proud of them!
On Thursday the 12th October, the Chaplaincy Team travelled to Bristol to attend the commissioning at the Cathedral. This is a special occasion as the new members are commissioned by Bishop Declan. The new members renewed their baptismal promises and joined Bishop Declan in the Act of Dedication. It was a lovely morning. We were even able to meet other Chaplaincy Teams from across our diocese.
Lewie reflected, 'I really enjoyed the trip. I walked our school banner around the cathedral with Alfie and then sang some hymns and got my badge. I felt proud and special.'
Alfie added, ' I enjoyed the commissioning for chaplaincy team because I liked it when we met Bishop Declan and when we got our badges. I felt nervous because there were so many people but I felt happy overall.'
