As those who are truly loved and appreciated as individuals will always thrive to explore their unlimited potential, pupils and staff alike.
The school proud to provide excellent educational experience that saw us achieve some of the best outcomes in Wakefield in 2023. The P8 score achieved by St Thomas a Becket for the 2022-2023 was the highest ever recorded score for the school, and higher than the local authority average and the national average.
