The Chapel

Our place of worship.

Our school Chapel is positioned within the heart of the school, open throughout the school day for prayer and liturgy.  

As well as our weekly sacraments such as Mass and Reconciliation, our Chapel is home to display work from creative prayers in tutor time and significant liturgical seasons such as Advent and Lent. During these periods of time the Chapel environment, alongside the rest of the school environment will reflect the colours and symbols associated with the themes of these seasons. It is in our Chapel where you will also see stained glass windows in dedication to our patron saint, St. Leonard. Pupils visit the Chapel to write petitions, light candles and remember loved ones in our Book of Remembrance. Tutor prayers, Celebration of the Word and Mass are often celebrated in the Chapel, led by pupils based on emerging needs in our school or wider world. 

The Chapel is used as a safe space where staff and pupils often come for a quiet moment of reflection. You will often hear music in our Chapel and throughout the week our Worship choir enrichment club rehearses in this space.
