Chaplaincy

Westminster City School has a Chaplain The Rev Garry Swinton (Anglican) who is also a member of the Religious Studies and History Departments. He endeavours to exercise a pastoral ministry among all who belong to the school community. This ministry includes home and hospital visits when necessary, and counselling. Complete confidentiality is assured.

The Chaplain is responsible for arranging services of worship and school assemblies, and relies upon the support of colleagues and students.

Form tutors are asked to inform the Chaplain when they hear of serious illness or deaths involving students or their families. Similarly he would like to know of any domestic situation causing concern; he may be able to help.

Westminster City School maintains a Christian ethos. All who belong have a contribution to make to this aspect of school life. We try to care for one another.

The Chaplaincy also facilitates teams of worship and charity prefects from each tutor group. Worship prefects and charity prefects respectively, assist form tutors in providing a short time of prayer each day during registration and in organising funding raising activities for charities chosen by the pupils each year.

Please do not hesitate to approach the Chaplain for yourself or on behalf of a colleague or student.
