About

I am very proud to be the headteacher at Becontree; a school where children and their learning is at the heart of everything we do. Our school motto is Respecting One Another ; three words that are an expectation of all members of our school community, that ensure a sense of belonging for everyone.

Positive relationships are essential to our success as a school and we work hard to CONNECT, COMMUNICATE and COLLABORATE with all members of our wonderfully diverse community. We believe that All children have learning, well-being and safeguarding needs; these principles underpin our exemplary inclusive practices throughout the school.

Every single person here wants the very best for every child ; that's why we do a lot of thinking and work hard. We are always asking questions about what we do, why we do it and how we can do things better.

Teamwork is very important to us because we know that we can do things better by working together with others; our children and their families, governors, staff, local community, other schools and professionals all make a positive difference to our school.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
