Thomas Becket
The school was founded as Thomas Becket Roman Catholic Upper School; under construction through 1974 and 1975, it had opened by March 1976. It was named after Thomas Becket, 12th-century Archbishop of Canterbury. After Northamptonshire County Council, the local education authority, reverted from the three-tier system (13+ entry age) to the two-tier system (11+ entry), the school was renamed to "Thomas Becket Catholic School".
