Job overview
This position represents an excellent opportunity for an inspiring person to be our Chaplain.
The Chaplain has a unique role in our school in being part of school life but also deliberately not seen as a ‘teacher’. The school Chaplain is an important adult role model for both students and staff. They play the lead role in preparing and leading worship for students and staff, running clubs for students and leading spiritual reflection in school.
Our Christian mission sits at the heart of our curriculum. We are looking for our next Chaplain to work with us to further develop our Christian ethos, support our young people and help us deliver our social action agenda.
Our school is deeply rooted in its Christian values, which palpably define the culture of the school. We do not select by any faith designation as part of our admissions criteria. We are very clear that we are a mission-led school serving Jesus Christ through our school community.
You will be employed by the school and the bulk of your work would be in our school, but the reach of your role extends beyond the school gates to build close relationships in local schools and churches, and national organisations reflecting our social action agenda.
We are committed to Chaplaincy playing a key and central part of our school life. We have experienced that with previous Chaplains and remain committed to that going forward by offering this as a permanent role.
We are a ‘Good’ school in all areas (Ofsted, March 2023) and are on a mission – to provide an exceptional education for every young person that we serve in our school community so that their life chances are transformed.
Lowton Church of England High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment.
Suitability checks will be undertaken in accordance with KCSIE, including identity, Right to Work, qualifications, Prohibition check, two references and enhanced DBS check including Children’s Barred List.

Lowton Church of England High School is a community where we are passionate about equipping young people to make a positive difference in the world. We are a vibrant and inclusive 11-16 comprehensive school of around 780 students, with an established reputation as a welcoming and forward-thinking learning community.
The Governors and staff of Lowton Church of England High School are committed to the provision of a high quality education in a Christian context. We aim to provide a school where we can live out our ethos of Caring, Learning and Succeeding on a daily basis and let our light shine. At the heart of the commitment is the notion of the uniqueness and infinite worth of the individual, that every person is valuable in the eyes of God and that they are, indeed, the light of the world.
Kieran Larkin joined in September 2020, with extensive Headship and school improvement experience, and has set about clarifying a mission-led, values-led ambitious curriculum vision that defines all that we want for our students.
Our ambition is not rooted in what an inspection framework is looking for, but comes from our underpinning Christian principles of caring, learning and succeeding so that every child regardless of their background or context will flourish, thrive and succeed in their time with us.
However, it is a reflection of our approach and commitment to excellence that our recent inspection - March 2023 - graded us 'Good' in all areas and recognised the strength of our vision, ambition, curriculum and leadership as a team. We do all that we do ‘through the lens of the child’.
We are a school on a mission – a Christian mission as well as an educational one. In fact, it is our firm belief that the combination of the two will have a transforming effect on the life of each child.
