We follow the full National Curriculum and students study Maths, English, Science,  Art and Design, Performing Arts, Sport and Religious Education. We also run two BTEC Construction Courses which include carpentry, painting and decorating, plumbing, electrics and bricklaying.

Students study Maths, English, Science, Art and Design and Sport each day

Students in receipt of Pupil Premium have one to one additional Literacy and  Numeracy Support each week.

We run vocational courses in BTEC Construction, Food Preparation and Nutrition, Performing Arts, Music and Health and Fitness

There are 8 Tutor Groups - Orange, Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, Silver, Gold and Purple - with 7 students in each group.

New students have an Induction Programme which includes a Baseline Assessment of their attainment levels in Maths and English.

This helps staff decide the appropriate Tutor Group for a student. The baseline assessment also enables us to measure each student’s progress while at Belmont Park School.

Each student is assessed every six weeks in every National Curriculum subject. This also allows us to measure individual student progress.

Cyberbullying is a form of bullying which uses technology against the victim. This can occur via a mobile phone, through social media or even while video gaming. 

Cyberbullying is cruel and wrong.

If you are being cyber bullied, this is what you should do:

Don't respond

If someone bullies you, remember that your reaction is usually exactly what the bully wants. It gives him or her power over you. Who wants to empower a bully?

Don't retaliate

Getting back at the bully turns you into one and reinforces the bully’s behaviour. Help avoid a whole cycle of aggression.

Save the evidence

The only good news about digital bullying is that the harassing messages can usually be captured, saved, and shown to someone who can help. You need to do this even if it’s minor stuff, in case things escalate.

Talk to a trusted adult

It’s you can tell your parent – if you can’t – a talk to us at school and we will help.  If you’re really nervous about saying something, don't be, as we will help.  But if you can't talk to someone, report it anonymously at school or use the red button below.

Block the bully

If the bullyings coming in the form of instant messages, texts, or profile comments, do yourself a favour: Use preferences or privacy tools to block the person. If it’s in chat, leave the “room.”

Be polite

Even if you don’t like someone, it’s a good idea to be decent and not sink to the other person’s level.  Treat people the way you want to be treated.

Don't be a bully

How would you feel if someone bullied you?  Think about how you would feel if it was happening to you.  Be a nicer person.

Be a friend, not a bystander

The Watching or forwarding mean messages gives the bullies power and hurts victims even more. If you can, tell bullies to stop.  If you can’t stop the bully, at least try to help the victim and report the behaviour using the red button below.column.

This is work that is specifically set to be done outside the timetabled curriculum and is clearly identifiable as such.

Homework contains a predominance of independent study in that it is not usually directly supervised by a teacher.

Homework and Independent Study is important in raising student achievement as it offers an opportunity for students to reinforce and demonstrate their understanding therefore enhancing the retention of knowledge.

Homework enhances student learning, improves achievement and develops students’ study skills.

See attached for homework timetable.

Pupils are exposed to a range of books at Belmont Park School.

Attached is a reading list of some books covered across our curriculum. These books are carefully selected for our pupils.

See attached for our literacy reading intervention.

Student Voice

We endeavour to encourage all students to have a voice that should be heard in school. Student Voice allows students to share who they are and what they believe.

We care about what the students think and value our young people, giving them ownership of their actions whilst providing opportunities that can make a real difference.

Our long term goal is to involve students more in the schools' day to day routines, this may include helping at Parent/carer evenings, off-site excursions and Charity Events, to name just a few.

By representing the school, the students are given opportunities to practise and showcase skills that they are developing, such as mentoring, self-confidence, public speaking, team building, collaborative working and problem-solving. These skills are incredibly important to their future.

Students must wear school uniform, this would consist of a Belmont Park School polo shirt, black trousers and black leather shoes or black trainers. If students are not in the correct uniform, parents will be contacted and where possible the student will be sent home to get the correct uniform.

Girls should not wear heavy makeup or lipstick and should not wear false or painted nails.

Jewellery apart from stud earrings, should not be worn in school. Jewellery will be confiscated in the first instance and returned at the end of the day. If there are further incident jewellery will only be returned when parent/carer collects it.

At Belmont Park School, we offer a range of clubs for the pupils to attend both after school and during half-term holidays.

After school clubs run from 3.00pm to 4.00pm and clubs run during half term holidays are from 10am - 2pm.

Currently after school clubs that are running are cooking, film and video and football.

Currently our half-termly, offer differs from holiday to holiday. During the Christmas holidays pupils attended cooking sessions, football sessions, cinema trips and Playstation competitions.
