Belmont Primary School

Belmont is a two-form entry Community Primary School, with up to 420 full-time pupils aged 4-11 years, and 52 part-time pupils in the Nursery. It is situated in the heart of Chiswick and its catchment is the immediate neighborhood.

We are very proud of our School, the many achievements of our children, the quality of the teaching and educational opportunities we offer and our friendly and supportive community of children and families, staff and governors. We firmly believe in the importance of providing an environment in which children are nurtured as individuals and enabled to develop a wide range of skills and attributes alongside their knowledge and understanding. This reflects our desire for our children to become active learners and well-rounded individuals, able to rise confidently to new challenges and make good use of their talents as they move through life.

Our vision for Belmont is inspiring all children, regardless of their background or circumstances, to learn within a nurturing community in order to flourish; ‘Inspire, nurture, flourish’ and at the same time strive for excellence in all that we do. We aim to provide a balanced, creative education in a stimulating, safe environment through which children maximize their talents and abilities, develop a pride in their achievement, feel happy, confident and secure and have the opportunity to thrive both academically and socially.

Belmont Primary School has served generations of children from the Chiswick area for over one hundred years and enjoys a reputation locally for its consistently high standards of academic progress and attainment, engaging curriculum, care and support for individuals and the range of opportunities offered to our children within and beyond the curriculum.

Belmont Primary School aims to provide a balanced, creative education in a stimulating, safe environment through which children maximize their talents and abilities, develop a pride in their achievement and feel happy, confident and secure. We believe in educating the whole child and preparing him or her to take an active role as a local, national and global citizen. To achieve this, our school values: Be safe, Be respectful, Be a learner, are explored and embedded in all aspects of school life.

Belmont is a two-form entry primary school with 420 full-time places for 4-11 year olds and 52 part-time places for nursery-aged children. Nursery children attend for 15 hours each week. Each year group from Reception - Year 6 has 60 pupils in two classes of 30. The School is organized so that children in the same year group regularly share activities to develop a year group identity. Children may be periodically regrouped between the two classes as they move through the school.

We are committed to being a ‘listening’ school to ensure all stakeholders play a part in our whole school improvement to become even better and to ‘get ahead and stay ahead.’ We are an inclusive school, the first in Hounslow to be awarded the Inclusion Quality Mark, and are committed to ensuring sustained progress and high standards of achievement for all our pupils.

The Curriculum comprises the total learning experience offered by the School and includes attitudes and values as well as skills, knowledge and understanding; we believe this to be essential for the development of children as responsible, caring and participating members of the community. We plan our teaching and learning to provide opportunities for every child to attain the highest level of personal achievement, taking into account the individual needs of all children.

Children have access to a stimulating and inspiring indoor and outdoor learning environment with resources chosen to meet the children’s needs and promote learning. We encourage confidence, independence and a desire to learn. Books are used to support learning in all areas of the indoor and outdoor learning environments and stories/poems and rhymes are read/sung aloud frequently. Children have opportunities to develop and embed maths skills in a wide range of contexts. Parents/carer's feel equipped to support children in all areas of the curriculum.
