Sunday Club & PARISH SCHOOL
Children are full and valued members of the Church. It is important that they both learn about the Christian faith and contribute to the life of the Christian community.
The Grosvenor Chapel Sunday Club meets during the 11.00 am Sung Eucharist except certain Sundays during school holidays.
We follow the "Roots" material for Sundays. Each week the children learn about an aspect of the Christian tradition, and lessons include education in the faith in a fun and informal style.
At Christmas they perform a Nativity play during the Sunday Eucharist, to the delight of the congregation.
We always look forward to special family-friendly Eucharist services, such as Mothering Sunday, Easter Sunday, Advent and Epiphany.
More information about the Sunday Club
The Sunday Club is suitable for children between the ages of 3 and 12 years. Older children wishing to become servers or to contribute in other ways should speak with the Priest in Charge.
The Sunday Club is led by a team of volunteers and a Sunday Club Coordinator, Lydia Fernandez.
We meet in the Chapel rooms. (Please arrive by 10.55am.)
A space is available for creche with parent supervision.
The Chapel upholds, and works according to, the Child Protection Policy of the Church of England.
Our Safeguarding Officers are Kat Holdsworth and Robert Coleman.
First Communion and Confirmation: If your child would like to be admitted to receive Holy Communion or confirmed, please contact the Priest in Charge.

St George's School & Church of England Secondary Schools
The Chapel is one of two churches in the Parish to serve our Parish's Church School, St George's School (Hanover Square), and regular attendance at the Chapel is one of the top criterion for entry to the school. The School's Acts of Worship take place in the Chapel every Friday at 9.10 am, led by the Chapel's Priest in Charge or the Rector of St George's Church, Hanover Square. All parents of children at the school are most welcome to attend.
We also encourage families who wish their children to attend a Church of England Secondary School to regularly attend church. Being a member of St George's School is not sufficient alone to qualify for a place at one of our Secondary Schools.
