What The Good Schools Guide says..
Two classes at either end of each spacious floor, each one charmingly named after fruit – apples, pears, cherries. The Belmont Home School Association – PTA to you and me - raises between £20,000 and £30,000 each year. This has helped make the playground ever more luxuriant, with designated spaces for quiet reflection, a wilderness garden, covered areas for performances with costume boxes lots of bike sheds, a super climbing wall painted by parents and plenty of gardening boxes replete with flowers, herbs and plants...

Head
Since September 2018, Elaine Lacey, previously deputy head at the Blue School in Isleworth.
Entrance
Preference given to siblings. Next in the pecking order are those who live within the Primary Admissions Area – 'catchment' to you and me. In recent years, even living in the catchment has not guaranteed a place at the school. Children in public care and those with medical/social needs come high up in the pecking order. After that – don't even try. Parents are known to rent property within the area just to qualify, and then…? More hope from year 2, however, as a steady trickle leave to go to prep school/move out of London.

Special Education Needs
Belmont is able to offer a range of learning support to its pupils who have special educational needs. The special educational needs coordinator (SENCO) oversees the provision: each child has an individual education plan, which is reviewed regularly with parents and others involved in the child's education. The SENCO and specialist reading recovery trained teacher provide focused support for individuals and groups, where this is identified as appropriate. In addition, a team of trained classroom assistants work alongside the teaching staff to provide support. This enables children with SEN to be taught in smaller, more focused groups, generally within the class setting, and also makes it possible for them to receive some individualised support, when particular programmes are indicated. The school makes use of external services which are able to help by providing advice, assessment or support, where this is relevant for an individual. Belmont is well resourced with materials to promote learning. Good communication with parents is fostered so that home and school are able to work in partnership to support a child and meet his or her needs effectively.

Interpreting catchment maps
The maps show in colour where the pupils at a school came from*. Red = most pupils to Blue = fewest.
Where the map is not coloured we have no record in the previous three years of any pupils being admitted from that location based on the options chosen.
For help and explanation of our catchment maps see: Catchment maps explained
Further reading
If there are more applicants to a school than it has places for, who gets in is determined by which applicants best fulfil the admissions criteria.
Admissions criteria are often complicated, and may change from year to year. The best source of information is usually the relevant local authority website, but once you have set your sights on a school it is a good idea to ask them how they see things panning out for the year that you are interested in.
Many schools admit children based on distance from the school or a fixed catchment area. For such schools, the cut-off distance will vary from year to year, especially if the school give priority to siblings, and the pattern will be of a central core with outliers (who will mostly be siblings). Schools that admit on the basis of academic or religious selection will have a much more scattered pattern.
*The coloured areas outlined in black are Census Output Areas. These are made up of a group of neighbouring postcodes, which accounts for their odd shapes. These provide an indication, but not a precise map, of the school’s catchment: always refer to local authority and school websites for precise information.
The 'hotter' the colour the more children have been admitted.
