From the The Becket School
It is an honour to serve as the head teacher of The Becket School and to guide a motivated, committed group of students while upholding the values of our shared Catholic faith. We recognise each person's individuality and value since The Becket is a Catholic school, and we all have important roles to perform there. Together, students, staff, families, and governors strive for excellence and give their all. We value each individual kid, and we anticipate that as they move through life as members of our community, all of our students will mature into young adults. The genuine sense of community that permeates The Becket as you go through the campus is what sets it apart from other schools. Staff and students get along well, and we try to work in collaboration with our parents and families. Our staff members are talented, compassionate, and committed, and the teaching quality is high. We also have high expectations for each of our pupils, and this is one of the key reasons for our stellar reputation in the East Midlands region as well as in our own neighbourhood.
