Cardinal Pole Catholic School is a mixed, voluntary aided secondary school located in the Homerton area of the London Borough of Hackney, United Kingdom. Following the 'Building Schools for the Future' programme, all pupils (years 7-13) are housed in the same building on Morning Lane. It is named after Cardinal Reginald Pole, the last Roman Catholic Archbishop of Canterbury.

Religion

Cardinal Pole is a Roman Catholic school although it admits non-Catholic pupils. A religious assembly attended by staff and pupils is held once times a week for each year group. On occasion, Masses will occur. Every pupil is required to take Religious Education at GCSE level, in keeping with the school's religious ethos. A non-examination Religious Education Programme is also followed by all sixth-form students.
