Belleville Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 March 2022

Pupils are safe and thrive at Belleville. They are very well prepared for the next stages of their education. This is because staff consistently exemplify the school's motto of having a 'relentless drive for improvement, excellence and equality'. Pupils show respect and kindness towards others. This makes them feel safe. They behave maturely in their classrooms and around the school. Pupils understand different types of bullying and, although extremely rare, know what to do if they feel unsafe. Leaders have planned a highly ambitious curriculum. Pupils develop detailed knowledge and understanding over time. They apply this in a range of interesting projects, producing work of a very high standard. Pupils speak with enthusiasm about the rich curriculum they learn. They also participate in a wide range of after-school activities, from chess, musical theatre, and ballet to Mandarin, lacrosse, and crochet. Many of these activities are provided by specialist teachers, coaches, and tutors. This enables them to signpost pupils to opportunities beyond the school where they can further develop their talents. Pupils eagerly take on additional responsibilities. For example, pupils represent their peers on the school or eco council. Pupils understand that these are examples of democracy and that voting means everyone has a voice in decision-making.
