About the School:
Belmont Primary School is an independent SEMH school for boys aged 5 to 11 and is part of the Acorn Care and Education, which has many schools across the country. Our Victorian school building has been completely refurbished to provide 7 modern classrooms, each with ICT provision, plus various specialist rooms and great outdoor play facilities.
The approach is individually based, in line with the Code of Practice and the school aims to forge practical working partnerships with pupils, parents/carers and involved professionals. The aim of the establishment is to encourage children to achieve and succeed personally, academically and socially. We also aim to develop a self-confidence that will enable them to cope in everyday situations, and manage the transition from school to college or work environments.
The intention is to provide a local resource for pupils, parents and local authorities within one-hour travelling distance; this will allow children to be retained within their family and community environments.
