Welcome to our new school website.

I hope that it provides you with all of the information that you need whilst giving you an insight into Blessed George Napier.

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. We expect every member of our community to support our Catholic, Christian mission in word and deed.

Over the last year we have been focusing on our curriculum and how it can suit the individual. Our Learning To Learn programme is changing the way our students approach their learning and we constantly review the optional courses to ensure that all of our students can make balanced choices and lead confident fulfilled lives when they leave this school.

Our first specialism of Sport and the second specialism of Maths and Computing are also making a difference to our students and their families.

We are starting evening classes in each of these specialist areas for students and parents together. In doing this we hope to raise standards and improve communication with you the parent because by working together and listening to each other we can make our young people the best they can be.

Blessed George Napier is a very special school and the atmosphere between staff and students and student to student is very good. In our recent Design & Technology Ofsted inspection the inspector commented on the happy atmosphere in the school where the young people obviously enjoyed their learning. These remarks meant as much to us as the judgement of 'outstanding' given by the same inspector to a Key stage 4 and a Key Stage 5 lesson.

We have always considered ourselves as a family, ultimately wanting the best for each other. We achieve that through daily prayer, seeking inspiration and guidance in our journey of faith from the God who loves us. BGN is a happy school - just look our prospectus. Every picture tells a story!
