At Belmont Park we follow the National Curriculum and students study Maths, English, Science, Art, Design & Technology, PE, History and Geography and Religious Education. Students have access to music and a modern foreign language.
At KS4, we offer GCSEs and Functional skills. We also offer BTECs in Music, Sports and Home Cooking. We deliver City Guilds qualifications in Construction courses which include carpentry, painting and decorating, plumbing, electrics and bricklaying.
We teach in significantly smaller class sizes than would be seen in mainsteam school. students are taught in tutor groups.
We complete baseline assessments on entry and students will be assessed in class through recap activities and independent tasks. Summative assessments take place bi annually. In Year 10 students will complete mock exams in the Summer, year 11 will complete these in Autumn and Spring.

Student Voice
We have an active and engaged student leadership group.
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 and blue sweatshirt, black trousers or bottoms. Leggings or jeans are not allowed. Skirts need to be knee length. Students should wear black leather shoes or all black trainers. If students are not in the correct uniform, parents will be contacted and students will be sent home to get the correct uniform.
Make up and false eyelashes are not allowed. Students 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.

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 to an adult.
