\r\n Journeying Together, Being Better <\/h2>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n
\r\n
Aldenham School was set up with a Christian foundation in 1597 and continues to support that vision by employing a full-time Church of England Chaplain. Our School Chaplain, Revd Tony Richardson is also a teacher in the school and is centrally involved in supporting and developing the spiritual life of the school community.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The vision of the chaplaincy is to enable pupils and staff in the school community to:<\/div>\n
\u2022 Grow in unity<\/div>\n
\u2022 Think deeply and critically about ourselves and our place in the world<\/div>\n
\u2022 Strive to be agents of positive change in the world<\/div>\n
This vision is summed up by the words: Journeying together, thinking critically, being better.<\/div>\n
