People of all faiths are welcomed to the College community. Religious and cultural support is provided and links are established with local provision wherever possible. Students are able to access local places of worship and can discuss any individual prayer or dietary requirements with support staff.

Chaplaincy

Our College Chaplain, Reverend Andy Dodwell, provides a friendly ear and is available to all students of any faith or none, to offer support, advice and encouragement on personal or spiritual matters. He is based on campus each Wednesday during term time from 12:00 to 15:00.

Prayer Room

There is a multi-faith prayer and reflection room located on the lower floor of the Learning Hub; this facility is available to all staff and students who would like space for prayers or quiet contemplation.

Friday Prayers

In 2021, student Haris, a devout Muslim, along with other students, would visit the Kindle Centre in Hereford for Friday Prayers during term time. The Muslim community at the College grew, and as Haris was the main organiser, it was suggested that he might want to lead Friday Prayers in a space provided by the College.
