A warm welcome to Blessed George Napier Catholic School and Sixth Form Specialist Sports College, an academy within The Pope Francis Catholic Multi Academy Company.

We are a Catholic school and, as such, we are deeply aware of the unique nature of each individual and the purpose that each one of us has in bringing about the Kingdom of God. Providing a first class education for all our pupils, so that they can use their talents and skills for the good of others, is very much part of our Christian mission....

The RE Department
The R. E. Department plays a key pastoral and academic role in the school. Religious Studies is an important part of the Catholic school's curriculum and is to be approached in an enthusiastic and challenging way which allows for individual expression and develops the knowledge and necessary skills for a mature Christian life. In so doing it also hopes to serve the needs of the wider Christian community and society at large.

In accordance with the school Mission Statement the R. E. department endeavours to tackle the dual aim of educating the individual in faith and promoting the individuals faith to the local Church community.

Retreats & Pilgrimages
Lourdes is a beautiful part of France and is one of the busiest sites of pilgrimage in the world. Every May students from our Sixth Form are able to share their gift of faith with ill and disabled pilgrims by volunteering at the Accueil, the hospital in Lourdes. It is always a humbling experience made even more special by how willingly our wonderful, fully committed students give of themselves so readily throughout the week to the service of others. The care and kindness they show does not go unnoticed and pupils are always commended for their hard work and enthusiasm. Throughout the week, working with the sick and disabled always proves to be a challenge. Shifts include tasks such as transporting pilgrims to and from Mass in wheelchairs, sitting with them, just talking to them and serving breakfast and lunch. Students, more often than not, realise how fortunate they are to be able to do the simple things in life. Quite simply, it is not a holiday. It is a pilgrimage that can change the way you see the world.
