Belmont School

Belmont School, established in 1965, is a Decile 7, U5 Contributing School with a Grading Roll of 396 students. Our school has 18 fulltime and 7 part-time teachers, one of whom is a Reading Recovery Teacher. Thirteen Support Staff complement the teaching team. Our Principal, Robin Thomson, is non-teaching, although she takes a very active role in t... eaching and learning in the school. The Resource Teacher Literacy are based on the Belmont site. Where appropriate or necessary, the school works closely with other agencies to provide effective support for students and their families. These agencies may include Public Health Nurse, Children, Young Persons and their Families Service, Child and Family Service, Group Special Education, Resource Teacher: Literacy, Resource Teachers of Learning and Behaviour, School Support Services. We seek advice and guidance from a variety of education and associated sources, to ensure that our students and staff have a safe physical and emotional environment and that the National Curriculum and the goals of our community are delivered through high quality programmes that promote achievement for all students. We are proud that our commitment to "Best Practice" is recognised by many external agencies. Our teachers are asked to trial curriculum materials, participate in focus groups and to be on programme development and review groups. We are regularly visited by other schools who wish to observe specific practice or to discuss the teaching and learning journey our school is undertaking.Read More
