Chaplaincy Team

Meet the Chaplaincy Team at Hutton

We are very privileged at Hutton to have a team of chaplains to minister to all members of our Christian community. Chaplains play a big role within the spiritual, moral, cultural and social life of our school. They regularly lead our main worship events within school, helping us to observe and celebrate throughout the Christian calendar. They visit lessons, take part in extra curriculum activities and can offer pastoral support on request. We also have the privilege of local Youth Minister Jason Spender and Youth for Christ director Nate Turner regularly coming into school.
