St Mary's Catholic Primary School, Swindon

School Chaplaincy Council meetings are held on the second Monday of each term between 8.45-9.30am in the Hive. 

Our values and goals of the School Chaplaincy Council link with the key principles of Catholic Social Teaching, which focuses on promoting justice, dignity, and the common good. 

This year, we have a School Chaplaincy Council Team, made up of 1 representative from each year group.

The role of the School Chaplaincy Council is to give our pupils a voice in the decision-making process within the school and support and enhance the spiritual life of the school community. It allows pupils to express their views, contribute to improvements, and foster a sense of responsibility and leadership.

 Our School Chaplaincy Council members take great pride in attending the Diocesan Chaplaincy Commissionning Mass at Clifton Cathedral and receiving and wearing their special School Council and Chaplain badges. Through prayer and hard work, they carry out different responsibilites to promote the faith in school to students, staff and the community.

We believe that a successful School Chaplaincy Council team always:

• Listens to each other’s ideas;
• Communicates with all the team members, school and parish;
• Encourages everyone when making decisions, to share their ideas and to try their best;
• Includes everyone when making decisions;
• Leads by example, love everyone especially people you don’t get on with.

If you have any ideas that you wish to share with us then please let us know
