Here at Blessed Robert, we know our faith is a DOING faith. As young people, living and growing with our faith starts right here with us. We not only believe, breathe and live out our faith, but we enjoy owning it and leading it, essentially DOING it…and of course inspiring others to lead and do it too! You’re on the right page to find out more about the teams at Blessed Robert who do just this – lead and inspire others in faith!
Chaplaincy
KS2 Liturgy Team
Hello from KS2 Liturgy Team. Our names are Maria, Elisa, Dominic, Gini, Fiona, Jewel and Peter. We all feel delighted and overjoyed to be part of the liturgy team in key stage 2. This role helps us to encounter Christ at a deeper level and allows us to minister to younger members of our school. We love to assist in spreading the Good news to the whole community at Blessed Robert.
Our key roles and responsibilities to lead in our thriving catholic community are to lead ‘Celebrations of the word’ where we focus on the scripture (word of God) allowing all there to encounter Christ and build their own relationship.
Supporting staff to set up for whole school events for example Mass, parish fairs, advert celebrations and planning fundraising for our school charities.
We all prompt a love of faith, a love of God and a love for our neighbor. We believe all are made in the image of God, we should treat all with love and respect.
We as a team believe Saint Paul sums up chaplaincy perfectly with the following scripture from Saint Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
This scripture allows us to go out and spread the Good News to others because we ourselves have already had an encounter with Christ.
Our school’s annual theme for this year is “stewards of the earth, guardians of God’s gift” We believe that following the Catholic social teachings can lead us in this focus. You can find out more below.

We would like to end by telling you the things we love about the KS2 liturgy team. We all love having an important role in school that is seen by all year groups, visitors to the school, parents and teachers. We all have different gifts and talents which helps our team be so strong. Some of our gifts are public speaking even if sometimes it can make us nervous! We love to spread the Good news along with being part of a great community.
We love when the school lay chaplains come in to work with us. We often get time to explore our faith, have open conversations about faith and plan for whole school events.
Let’s spread the Good News!
KEY STAGE 1 LITURGY TEAM 2024-25
Hi we are the year 2 liturgy team and our names are Cheryl, Olivia, Dawid, Kamil and Mary. We love being part of the key stage 1 liturgy team, it is really fun and here is why!
We get to do really fun jobs like reading from the Bible. We like the stories Jesus tells us like the Good Samaritan or where Jesus was born. We would love to hear what your favourite scripture story is!
A part of our job is planning and creating exciting celebrations of the word where we learn about Jesus and how to live our lives. We get to work Mrs Cross and The School lay chaplains. We always start by looking at the theme of the week then choosing a story in the Bible that links. We then spend time writing prayers and coming up with actions for everyone to do.
We also love being part of the Liturgy team as we are able to welcome special visitors to our school. It is really amazing to meet new people and show them what we do.
In the future, we are looking forward to visiting other classes to read beautiful Bible stories to them so they can learn more about God too.
We as year 2 Liturgy team want to say have a great day!
Chaplains
Hi, we’re Ruth and Joe and we are the Chaplains who are privileged enough to work at Blessed Robert Widmerpool School!
Our weekly visits to BRW always hold something new and exciting, whether it’s supporting students in planning and preparing Masses and Liturgies or visiting each classroom with the Prayer Monitors to evaluate the Prayer Focus displays, there is always something to keep us busy and active in our faith. The staff and students at BRW are so passionate about their faith that it truly is inspiring to work with them and to help bring their wonderful ideas to life.
Some of the important people that we work with are the Year 6 Chaplaincy Team and the Year 2 Chaplaincy Team. Their role is to lead, support and inspire other students in their faith and you can see the huge impact that they have on their school community through the hard work that they do. Every student shows respect and reverence for their faith which allows all students to experience times of encounter with Jesus and leaves us confident that there are many missionary disciples in the making here at BRW school!
The staff and students at Blessed Robert Widmerpool are always doing something new and different and luckily, they love to blog, so make sure you check out their web pages to find out about events and experiences that they, and the wider community, have shared and if you can make it, please come and join us!
