At St Edmund’s, we have a team of dedicated Y5 Pupil Chaplains or Peace and Justice society who promote the Catholic Ethos of our school. Pupil Chaplaincy has a high profile in our school.
Our Pupil Chaplains are a very dedicated team who have a vital role in enhancing the Religious and Spiritual Life of our school. Their roles include delivering class Prayer and Worship, leading prayers and reflections in assemblies and Liturgical events, supporting charities and fundraising events, and encouraging the children to be active global citizens.
Pupil Chaplains are good role models for the younger pupils in our school and they give out award stickers and certificates for acts of kindness and service to children within the school.
We are very proud of our Pupil Chaplains.

- Giving joyful witness of Christ in school – continuing the work of Jesus’ disciples and encouraging the children to put God first and live out their faith in their daily living.
