Southwell School has an Anglican ethos at its heart and warmly welcomes students of all backgrounds into a values-based education shaped by that tradition. Our Chaplain, the Reverend Blythe Cody, is an ordained Anglican priest with pastoral experience spanning cathedral and parish ministry, and senior leadership. Here at Southwell, she plays a positive role in developing the full potential of every student, with pastoral care that flows from the vocation of ordained ministry, regular chapel services, and a programme of Christian Education for all year groups.
All Hallows Chapel is the heart of our community, and we gather there most days the school is open. During our time together, Chaplain combines the rich traditions of Anglican liturgy with contemporary practices designed to guide students’ experience of God’s deep love and care and, in turn, to empower them to respond by making the world a more beautiful place.
Chaplain oversees our Christian Education classes, building our students’ knowledge of Scripture, faith, prayer and the rhythms of the Church calendar. Following our school’s inquiry-based approach, students are challenged to wonder, ask, and examine how our faith shapes our everyday life.
Baptism is a sacrament through which Christians become one with Christ and the Church. For Anglicans, Baptism has always been an integral part of the faith journey.
Baptism can occur at any stage of life. At Southwell, there is an annual voluntary Baptism service. Each candidate receives their own personalised baptism candle, a baptism certificate and a card for each godparent explaining their responsibilities.
The Southwell community seeks to worship God as often as possible. Each day the school opens with a service, Monday to Thursdays at 8.30am in our All Hallows Chapel. On Fridays prayers form part of our weekly assembly held in The Great Hall.
Family Services for each House are held on one Sunday a term. These services have a strong level of student involvement and everyone is encouraged to attend.
Special events in the church calendar are celebrated in the Chapel: Ash Wednesday to mark the beginning of Lent, Christmas Carol Services held prior to the end of our school year, and a special Christmas Day Service for all members of the public to come together.  The Chapel is also a special place for events in the School year such as the Commissioning of Prefects Service, Grandparents’ Day Services and Founders’ Day Service.  New children to Southwell begin their journey in All Hallows Chapel and leave from there in a moving service for Year 8 Leavers on their last day of school.
