Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Academies Trust is a large new Catholic Multi Academy Trust situated in the northern half of the Catholic Diocese of Northampton formed by the merger of three former Catholic Trusts in February 2020. The Trust currently leads and manages ten Catholic primary schools located across the geographical area of Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire and, two Catholic secondary schools – Thomas Becket in Northampton and St Thomas More in Bedford.

Thomas Becket Catholic School is a successful, comprehensive 11-18 secondary school in Northampton.  We are committed to continuous improvement and driving up standards of attainment and we are ambitious for our students and our staff.  We are a Catholic, learning and listening school where it is not enough that children know they are loved, we show them.
