About Seckford Education Trust
Seckford Education Trust was founded by the Seckford Foundation in 2012.
Four schools are part of the Trust: SET Beccles School, SET Ixworth School and SET Saxmundham School and SET Felix Primary.
All the schools in the Trust have been founded as a result of community demand.
SET Beccles School
SET Beccles School opened in September 2012 on a temporary site in the town of Carlton Colville near Lowestoft. Carlton Colville Primary School had moved out of it’s building to the old middle school site in the town, providing an opportunity for Beccles Free School to be sited in Carlton Colville until its permanent site in Beccles became available in September 2014. At that time, the school moved to the old Beccles Middle School site.
SET Beccles School is an 11 – 16 non-selective school and is led by Mr Neil Ketteringham, Head of School.

SET Felix Primary
At SET Felix Primary children learn in a secure and happy environment so they can enjoy, achieve and thrive during their learning journey. We have the privilege of seeing them develop into independent learners as they move through Reception to Year 6. We encourage open communication with family so tracked progress can be shared regularly. Our dedicated staff greatly value your input and believe that by working together we can ensure your child’s success.
We also have a Local Authority Special Needs provision with a 20 place KS1 and KS2 Specialist Support Class. To access this provision your child will need an EHCP and the school they attend is required to apply for a place from the Local Authority. We also host a six place ASD provision for high functioning KS2 children with a diagnosis of ASD.
SET Felix Primary is led by Mrs Jess Hearn, Interim Headteacher.
