The wellbeing and pastoral care of our students is a priority and we have a full support network at Thomas Becket Catholic School, whilst also working closely with our community partners in the local area.
Our recently opened Bethel Centre is at the hub of our school and provides specialist SEND support and care.
Our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), Molly Harrison, is a member of the senior leadership team and takes lead responsibility for child protection and wider safeguarding.

Are you 11-19 years old? You can text a school nurse for free, confidential help and advice!

We just want to let you know a little bit about confidentiality. Unless you give permission, a School Nurse will not pass on anything you say to anyone else, like parents, teachers, or other students – except in extreme circumstances like if the health, safety or welfare of you or someone else is at significant risk. If we did need to tell someone about something you had told us, we would always try to speak with you first. For our safety and yours we hold information that you tell us on electronic records that can be seen by other healthcare professionals who all follow the same confidentiality rules - this can include your doctor. Records are kept for future use.
