Belmont Juniors
Belmont Junior School is a separate school with a separate Headteacher, Laurence Clarke, and separate Governing Body, although on the same site and with some shared staff. Parents and carers must apply to Haringey Council if they wish their child(ren) to attend Belmont Juniors from Year 3. This is done in January as per Reception admissions. Children at Belmont Infants are prioritised for places at the Junior school.
The schools share the same community and the same ethos. Both schools prioritise enjoyment of learning through a broad, creative curriculum. We provide a range of exciting experiences such as artists in residence, theatre trips, museum visits and more; these capture their curiosity and foster a love of learning. We want the children to leave the Belmont community with great memories that will last them a lifetime. We know that children do best when they are supported at home and so both schools work very closely with parents to ensure that our children can thrive during their time in our schools.
As the vast majority of our children move on to the Junior school we work closely together to ensure a smooth transition. It is the policy that our Year 2 classes are mixed prior to starting the Junior school. We feel that regular, routine mixing of classes helps the children’s relationships, helps to balance the classes and limits any ongoing friendship issues within classes which are not conducive to learning and thus allowing children to develop better resilience and widen their circle of friends in a safe and comfortable environment. See our Policy on mixing classes 2024 for full details.
