Our Worship Leaders Team
"Be an example for the believers in your love, speech, faith, conduct and purity." Timothy 4:12
At Immanuel & St Andrew we believe firmly in giving children opportunities to be involved in steering and leading areas across the school. Each year, children from Year 5 and 6 become part of the Immanuel Chaplaincy Team. The team then support the Headteacher and the Faith and Values Lead in promoting the Christian values of the school and planning events throughout the year to celebrate these.
The roles of our Chaplaincy team include the following:
- To help the school to be a community of faith.
- To encourage the pupils to live their faith in daily living.
- To develop good relationships within and beyond the school community.
- To support prayer and the spiritual life of the school.
- To involve pupils in fundraising for charities.
- To continue to develop strong links with the Parish and community.
- To support the school in its Vision and Mission Statement.
In order to fulfil these roles; our chaplaincy team will…
- Help to prepare worship every half term.

- Provide ideas for Reflection Areas across school.
