Confirmation Classes
As a school we have been given permission by the Bishop of Durham to prepare girls for confirmation.
Confirmation classes are open to all girls in Year 8 and above. The Chaplains and the Headmistress prepare the girls through a confirmation course. It addresses central Christian beliefs and any girl may join these sessions if she is curious about the Christian faith.
Then when the girls have made their decision about whether to go ahead with confirmation, the course addresses Christian living and commitment.
During the course there are also opportunities for the girls to visit local church services, which have a youth flavour, and to take part in the regular weekends away that are run for different Christian Union groups.
