School Ethos

Belmont Community Primary School is a school rooted in our local community. Our school motto is ‘Achieving Excellence, Putting Children First’. Through this we believe that our school should be a place where, through the strong ethos embedded in all aspects of school life, every child is nurtured to develop academically, socially, morally, culturally and spiritually to behave with personal integrity and take responsibility for their own actions as well as developing enquiring minds to enable them to achieve. They leave the school able to enter the world as a young person with the tools, drive and aspiration to do their best to make the world a better place for all.

School Vision

We at Belmont Community Primary School aspire to provide an outstanding education for all our learners. All pupils will explore and grow together, and will be suitably challenged and guided, so that they realize their full potential and become confident, independent young people. Belmont Community Primary School seeks to provide a broad and balanced education for all children by addressing their academic and social needs within a caring, positive and stimulating environment. All children are seen as individuals, with individual needs and talents. It is the nurturing of each individual, through their interests, that will truly allow each child to progress and achieve their full potential.

A Place With Children At The Centre

We aspire for the children at Belmont to:

• Feel Safe to Take Risks and Learn from Mistakes: We believe that the deepest learning takes place when children have the confidence to take risks, make mistakes and learn from them. Belmont School is a safe space where exploration and growth are encouraged.

• Enjoy coming to School: We endeavour to create an engaging learning environment where children look forward to each school day with excitement and anticipation.

• Be Enthusiastic About Learning: We strive to instil a passion for learning in our students that will last a lifetime.

• Develop a Sense of Pride and Self-Esteem: The children at Belmont will develop a strong sense of pride in themselves, their community and each other. We aim to nurture their self-esteem through regular celebrations of their achievements and individuality.

• Be Accepting, Tolerant and Non-Judgmental: We teach our children the values of acceptance, tolerance and open-mindedness so they learn to embrace diversity, respect cultures and beliefs and be non-judgemental members of our community and citizens of the world.

• Be Effective Communicators: Our Pocket Principles focus heavily on the need for our students to be a good communicator and an active listener, capable of expressing themselves and understanding others effectively.

• Build an Environment of Trust and Respect: Our school is founded on principles of trust and respect, where every individual feels valued, heard and appreciated.

• Commit to Effective Partnerships: We are committed to working closely with parents, carers and governors. We understand that the education of our children is a collaborative effort that requires the involvement of the entire community and beyond.
