FAITH AND CHAPLAINCY
At the Royal Hospital School, our core values are rooted in the Christian faith, however we warmly welcome pupils from all faiths, and of none.
Our community is built on respect, inclusivity, and shared values, ensuring every pupil has an opportunity to explore their personal spirituality.
Chapel: A Spiritual and Cultural Hub
The chapel lies at the heart of the school life, providing a space for our community to come together for spiritual reflection as part of the weekly routine. The Chapel is a place where at key moments throughout the year we come together to worship, celebrate and contemplate.
The Chapel is open daily as a place to sit and be still; to think and reflect, and to ask questions and to challenge ourselves. To widen this we invite different speakers to Chapel throughout the year.
MEET OUR CHAPLAIN
Reverend Katherine Page assumed the role of School Chaplain in January 2025. She completed her Ordination training at Westcott House in Cambridge before serving at a large Church in Marlow. Prior to her Ordination, Reverend Page worked as a PRE teacher in schools across East Anglia, including RHS.
In her capacity as Chaplain, Reverend Page aims to assist individuals in processing their thoughts, provide space for reflection and create a safe environment where those of all faith’s and none, can find comfort and hope.
My role within the school is to care for people. I am here to deliver pastoral care to every member of our community and wider family, which includes alumni. To provide or facilitate spiritual support and give moral guidance irrespective of faith.
The Chapel and Chamber Choirs
The Chapel also plays an important part in musical life at RHS. The Chapel and Chamber Choirs are renowned for their impressive regular performances of sacred and secular music and those who live in the local area often refer to the 'Holbrook Sound' when the massed voices of the whole school can be heard during congregational practice and Chapel services.
