CHAPLAIN’S REPORT
As is the arrangement, these days Father
Barry and Father Philip share the chaplaincy
role across the School with responsibilities
in both the Senior and Preparatory schools
while also being available to the broader
school community, including not only staff,
but student families and Old Guildfordians
and their families; you might think it a
rather large Parish!
Grammar School, is the Archbishop’s
Certificate in Theology which provides
general but systematic instruction in a
range of theological, biblical, historical and
pastoral subjects. The courses are available
to all people whether from schools,
parishes or other Church agencies. Such
a commitment represents a healthy and
valuable engagement with and support of
the mission of the Church outside of the
School.
