Chaplaincy

Kingham Hill has a dedicated chaplaincy team, including the Chaplain, Assistant Chaplains and Pastoral Assistants (based in each boarding house). Their role is to ensure that every pupil, whatever their background or beliefs, feels supported, valued and able to make the most of their time at the School, leaving equipped for life beyond The Hill.

Chapel remains an important part of the rhythm of school life. Boarders gather on Sunday evenings for a short reflective service, and once a week the whole school comes together to mark the start of the day through music, readings and reflection. Throughout the year, Chapel also hosts key community events such as Remembrance, Christmas and Founder’s Day, with pupils actively involved through readings, music and performances.

Kingham Hill encourages open discussion, thoughtful reflection and respect for different viewpoints. Pupils who wish to explore matters of faith further have opportunities to do so through optional groups including Christian Union and events such as our annual Chaplaincy Events Week. We also partner with local churches and other schools in various ways to serve the community, with a focus on community, wellbeing and personal development.

Whether your child has a faith background or not, Kingham Hill provides an environment where every pupil is encouraged to grow in confidence, develop their own values and beliefs, and contribute positively to the wider community.
