All of these forms except Fox, which is named after the schools first headmaster Fr. Michael Fox SJ, are named after famous catholic saints who were martyred. The school also has an attached sixth form which admits a number of Girls. The school currently has 990 pupils, with the incumbent headmaster being Mr. John Johnson, who attended the school in its very first year.

The school has an outstanding reputation in the local community of Havering and beyond with its pinnacle being its strong Rugby tradition. The school won the Daily Mail Cup, the premier rugby competition in the country in 2001 and reached the final in 2002, in the process becoming the first comprehensive to do so.

The School has a strong catholic tradition represented by its ethos and teachings.

Campion is located at the end of Wingletyre lane in Hornchurch and is a 5 minute drive from the town itself.
