The Robert Napier School, is a secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Gillingham, Kent, England.
The origins of the Robert Napier School extend back to 1905 when the ‘Napier Road School’ opened at Napier Road, Gillingham. In 1923 Gillingham County Council (Grammar) School was opened by Kent County Council on what is now the site of the present school on Third Avenue. Shortly after its opening, the area experienced a sudden influx in population meaning many local schools rapidly reached their maximum capacity. It was not until the 1970s however, when the Gillingham County Council School moved sites and became The Howard School, Kent that the Robert Napier School was formed.[1]
The school is a member of Fort Pitt Thomas Aveling Academies.[2]
David Frost and Ryan Bertrand are notable former pupils.
