• No Hot Meals Available Wednesday, 12 March - Friday, 14 March

  Tue 11 Mar 2025 School Office

  Good afternoon,

  Due to issues with the boiler that provides the hot water in the school kitchen, we will be unable to serve hot meals for the rest of this week.

   

  Please could all parents/carers go on to their ParentPay and change the option to a cheese or ham packed lunch option if your child would like this.

   

  If this is not changed or cancelled, a packed lunch will need to be provided from home for the rest of the week.

   

  Apologies for any inconvenience but this is out of our control until the boiler is fixed.

   

  Regards, Belmont School Office

  We had a wonderful day celebrating our love for books on World Book Day! The children - and staff - all looked absolutely fantastic in their favourite book character costumes!  During the morning we enjoyed a special assembly and lots of book-themed learning and activities whilst in the afternoon, children in KS2 had the opportunity to visit the younger classes to share their love of reading. We all had a brilliant time - you can find more photos on the Class pages!

• Mental Wellbeing - The Zumos App

  Sun 02 Mar 2025 Mr Togher

  As a school, pupil wellbeing is something that is very important to us and to help support children with their mental wellbeing we use an app called Zumos. Many of the children use the app in school but this is also something that can be used at home.

   

  The app has various games that teach skills around supporting wellbeing, and there are support techniques the children can use around worries or other emotions they may feel. There is also a worry box where children can write a message about something they are worried about which an adult in school then receives and can offer them support.

   

  The poster below outlines more of the things Zumos has to offer and the link for the website is:
  https://www.zumos.co.uk/

   

  Further information about how we support your child can be found on our Mental Health and Wellbeing pages - https://www.belmontprimary.com/mental-health-wellbeing/

  
  If you would like more information or support, please speak to your class teacher or you can speak to Miss Allen, Miss McCormack or myself.

  
  Thanks for your continued support!
  Mr Togher

  

• Positively Different Assembly - Belmont Mini Police

  Sun 02 Mar 2025 Mrs Harrison

  Today, we were very pleased to welcome PCSO Rowena Everitt back to Belmont for a very special 'Positively Different' assembly with the children in Sambar and Taruca classes. During the assembly, the children learned about protected characteristics and the meaning of the word 'hate' and discussed why we should be kind, be accepting and celebrate other peoples differences to help prevent 'small hate leading to big hate'.

   

  We would like to say thank you once again to PCSO Rowena for another fantastic informative session.

• Young Voices

  Wed 26 Feb 2025 Mr Allsopp

  We are delighted to share that our recent trip to the Young Voices concert was a resounding success! At the end of last term, pupils at Belmont had the incredible opportunity to perform alongside thousands of other children in a grand choir.

  
  The energy and excitement in the air were truly infectious. Our students sang their hearts out and represented our school with pride. It was a joy to see them experience the magic of performing in such a large-scale event, and the smiles on their faces said it all!

  
  We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the parents and carers for your support and to Mrs Matthews and the other staff members who helped make this trip possible.

  
  We hope this experience has inspired our pupils and created lasting memories. We will share the experience with the whole school by showing a video of the event in assembly. We hope that even more children sign up for Young Voices in 2026!

  

• World Book Day - Thursday, 6 March

  Tue 25 Feb 2025 Mrs Litten

  We will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday, 6 March 2025. On that day, children may come to school dressed as their favourite book character (with items you already have at home if possible). It would be great if they could bring a book to share (this should be named). No donation is required.

   

  Please note: we understand that some children intend to dress up as characters from films, games and TV programmes (e.g. Squid Games) that are classified as 12, 15 or 18 by the BBFC.  It is not appropriate to dress as these characters.

   

  *** Special Lunch Menu ***

  We are excited to let you know there is a special lunch menu to celebrate World Book Day - please

  see the poster below for details!

   

  Thank you.
