Headteacher's Welcome

Welcome to Beccles High School

Welcome to our website. I am proud and privileged to be the Headteacher of Beccles High School. I feel extremely fortunate to work alongside the talented and diverse learners, staff, families and community partners as the school enters the next phase of its development. 

Please explore our website. The About Us section will tell you a great deal about how we work and includes our prospectus. 

Drawing on the support of our partner schools within Sapientia Education Trust, our key drive is to continuously improve educational outcomes for all our students. We believe that education is the key to transforming life chances, and that by creating an outstanding learning environment where all students are happy and well taught, we will enhance their prospects to become resilient, productive and successful citizens of the future.

To achieve our goal of an outstanding learning environment we insist on getting the basics right, day in and day out. These core standards include high expectations of everyone in our learning community; good discipline consistently applied; reliably good quality teaching; a commitment from parents to work in partnership with the school and respectful, positive relationships between everyone in our learning community.

As a school leader it has always been paramount to me that education is more than just exam results and qualifications gained. It is about educating the whole child and making sure that when they leave us, they are prepared to enter today’s modern world, as resilient and well-rounded, capable young people. Maintaining as broad and diverse curriculum as we can at Beccles High School is something I will always prioritise.
