"Godliness with contentment is great gain"
The Chapel is the spiritual heart of the school, where daily assemblies are held. It is also where music, concerts and drama take place - performances which are a regular feature of Great Walstead life.
Above all, the chapel is where we try to bring to life the truths of the Christian gospel and focus on the reality that there is more to life than this material world. It is a place to meet with God.
Each morning for every child at Great Walstead, there is chapel. We believe that this is a most important part of each day. It focuses our minds on God and helps us to make sure that we take him into account in all that we do.
On any normal morning, our service will consist of some
singing, of a short talk based on the Bible, and a prayer. The seniors
have a rota of chapel readers who read a Bible passage each morning. Many
staff will use drama as a way of conveying the theme they have chosen.
Others will use visual aids. At all events, we try to make what we present
interesting to the children and if we can involve them in the presentation,
then we do.
