Penilee and Crookston Castle schools combined to become Rosshall Academy in 2002. With the new building in construction and a new headteacher in place, the time was right for the calling together of a meeting of local clergy.
The Chaplaincy Team was formalised, with seven local congregations represented - six Churches of Scotland and one Episcopal Church. These included all the chaplains to the associated primaries. In due course a nearby Baptist minister was also asked to join, making eight congregations and ten clergy.
The example of Ross Hall shows how developing a chaplaincy team took place with increasing co-operation between the churches. The team is well integrated in many aspects of school life.
This case study was put together by Graham Cartlidge, a teacher at Rosshall.
