Chaplaincy

Hi I’m Jim, and I am delighted to be the Chaplain to the Gryphon School and to be part of the fabulous team here.  Being involved in the school in this way is part of my overall role as Vicar in the Sherborne team of churches.

My wife has been a teacher for 20 years, and as a result, I am well aware of some of the joys and challenges of school life.  At the heart of The Gryphon School’s ethos lie the words of Jesus found in John 10:10 – ‘I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.’  This is what we want for all pupils at The Gryphon; that they are able to flourish in their educational setting, in life outside school and beyond. I recognise though, that life is not straight forward and that there are many curve balls, many strains and many stresses placed upon us all.

In my role as Chaplain, I am here to listen, and provide support pastorally and spiritually to staff and pupils.  Say hi if you see me around and if you need to contact me, please email chaplain@gryphon.dorset.sch.uk

In my spare time I love being out in the countryside and especially being in the mountains.  I particularly enjoy outdoor sports including walking, climbing and mountain biking; you might see me whizzing between locations around town on my bike.  I am also a keen cook, with a particular passion for cooking curry!

I look forward to getting to know your hopes, joys and passions too.
Blessings
Reverend Jim Edie
