From the Bryanston School
The Bryanston ideology is based on Christian inspiration and beliefs.
Despite having an Anglican background, the school acknowledges that some of its students come from homes where there is no significant religious attachment or where other faiths are practised.
The resident school chaplain actively participates in the community's pastoral care and aspires to be a sympathetic ear for the entire school.
The school's chapel and church's numerous and varied services are coordinated by the chaplain throughout the year.
Our goal is to provide students with a regular exposure to sincere, devoted Christian worship that anyone is free to join; as a result, church participation is entirely optional.
Most Sundays, students have the option of attending church or an assembly in Coade Hall where a guest speaker will give a speech.
Roman Catholics are welcome to attend Mass in Blandford if they so want.
Our local Rabbi visits to serve those of the Jewish faith many times a year, right before the major festivals.
Sacred Heart Church Bryanston is lucky to have a chapel in addition to a church.
Originally the parish church of the community of Bryanston, St. Martin's Church is located in the grounds distant from the main school facilities.
Once a week, first-year students gather in the chapel to get ready for the freedom of choice in worship that is the norm at Bryanston.
