The Curriculum
We are proud to offer a curriculum that is both academically rigorous and engaging and goes far beyond the national curriculum, in order to instill a love of learning in our pupils.
Games & the Arts
Our mission is to ensure all pupils leave Belmont physically literate and equipped with the motivation and skills to foster a life-long love of physical activity.
The arts are a real strength at Belmont and an essential element of our core curriculum because they both enrich your child’s life, and encourage them to see the world from different perspectives.
Pastoral Care
We believe that a child who is happy and safe in their environment will flourish. Our excellent pastoral care underpins all aspects of school life. The backbone of our pastoral system is based on a team of outstanding tutors, who get to know every child and support them on each step of their journey through the school. Our pastoral care is tailored to individuals through our mentoring programme and additional support for pupils and families is available, if necessary through our team of School Counsellors.
Head Teacher’s Philosophy
At Belmont we believe that children thrive when they are happy, engaged and challenged, so we have created a nurturing environment where children are kind and love to learn. The incredible range of opportunities, delivered by a committed and caring team of professionals, help our children find their own path to success and happiness.
