It is with great sadness that the ETFO Thames Valley Occasional Teachers' Local notes the passing of Ken Beckett, Local President 1998-2000. Ken spent his teaching career advocating for Teachers and later Occasional Teachers. Ken had the difficult task of amalgamating the Collective Agreements from Elgin, London, Middlesex and Oxford into our first Thames Valley Agreement. He was generous with his advice and mentored many into leadership positions with the Union. He will be missed.
