"Discrimination "

The school has discrimination of who they admit to their school, they say they are faith school but they dictate what church you have to go to which I find ridiculous. Admission office person is rude and inpatient and I thought this is probably not the right school for my children

"Becket Keys"

Becket Keys can be a lot better, the teachers and children are horrible, constantly yelling and children can’t behave. Education is poorly, daughter learnt more of her phone than two years at the school. Moved school daughter is now learning a lot more than Becket Keys.

"Mixed Bag"

While my child had some great experiences at Becket Keys, we did encounter some challenges with communication and support from certain teachers. Overall, it's a good school, but could improve in these areas. - RB
