 In order to fulfil these roles; our Chaplains will:

Parish Links

Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School is part of Corpus Christi Parish, Brixton Hill. Many of our children and families worship at Corpus Christi Church, and we are also enriched by families who come from neighbouring parishes. 

We are fortunate to have Fr Matthew and Fr Godfrey as regular and valued visitors in our school community. On Holy Days of Obligation, at the start of each term, and on important feast days, our pupils and staff attend Mass at Corpus Christi Church, gathering together to celebrate the Eucharist and deepen our relationship with Christ. 

Fr Matthew also plays an important role in supporting the teaching of Religious Education. He leads lessons in the church, helps children explore the sacred space, and visits classes to answer their questions about faith, Scripture and the life of the Church. 

Our children take part in parish events throughout the year, helping them grow in their faith and develop a strong understanding of service and their role within our community.
