After six years I took the role of Head of Religion and Philosophy at Reigate Grammar School where I taught for a decade. So, how did I get to be chaplain? After university in London and Cambridge, I taught here in the East Midlands at another independent boarding school, Loughborough Grammar School. In essence my primary concern is the whole person, staff and pupils alike. I am as interested in the football, hockey, science, music and academic lessons as I am in their chapel attendance. Since the children and staff live and work in the same place, it is right that their priest lives and works alongside them too. In a boarding school such as Repton, the job of chaplain is, in fact closest to the more old fashioned model of a vicar – to be involved in all aspects of the life of the community, in this case the school. It would be an enormous job to add to that of the vicar looking after a parish, so here I am! Having more than one clerical collar around a village the size of Repton could look rather indulgent, so perhaps I ought to tell you something about the one that is not the vicar!Īs Chaplain of Repton School, my principal concern is for the community of staff and pupils who attend one of the most impressive boarding schools in England.
