Chapel

The presence of the beautiful Chapel at the heart of Heathfield School is a reminder of our Anglican foundation and reflects the centrality of its Christian ethos.

Chapel services provide regular opportunities for the whole school to gather and offer valued space for reflection and inspiration in a busy week. Students are able to develop their skills through organising these and taking part. At our services we celebrate birthdays, with those turning 18 receiving a posy of flowers. We welcome visiting speakers to Chapel who share their experience of faith and life to enrich our times together.

The Chaplain

Our School Chaplain is the Rev’d Elspeth Saville and she is available for the whole school community, of any faith and of none. She will usually be found around the school meeting students and offering support. She enjoys the opportunities she has to share the Bible’s message in a relevant and engaging way.

Each week there is an optional ‘Student Prayer Group’ which is led by the Chapel Prefects and supported by the Chaplain. At the beginning of the Summer Term there is an opportunity to be Confirmed in the School Chapel. For this service we welcome a visiting Bishop. The girls meet with the Chaplain in Confirmation Club to prepare for this special occasion.

A wonderful feature of the Chapel at Heathfield School is the engravings. The names of former students are carved on the pews or on a wall plaque when they leave – a lovely reminder that those who attend the school are a permanent and precious part of our school community.
