Belmont School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 February 2025

At Belmont school, pupils love learning a breadth of subjects. The carefully designed curriculum enables and supports pupils to develop excellent communication skills. Consequently, pupils articulate their knowledge and understanding of the world around them with expertise. The school has very high expectations for pupils to succeed, and pupils aspire to achieve. Pupils are highly valued and nurtured at the school. Strong, caring, supportive relationships between staff and pupils form the bedrock of learning. Pupils' behaviour is exceptional. Pupils, as a result, are confident learners and welcome the challenge of learning increasingly complex concepts. Staff continually check what pupils know and do not know with impressive expertise. This results in highly bespoke approaches to supporting pupils' individual learning needs. For example, some pupils were observed learning about the shape and colour of money while others were doing complex mental arithmetic. The curriculum is skilfully adapted to meet the needs of each pupil. Pupils have an abundance of opportunity to develop their knowledge about the world around them. For example, pupils develop leadership skills through the student parliament, where a pupil elected as prime minister very ably guides the other members.
