What you should know about belmont school
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.
This special location gives us the environmental advantages of a rural school as well as easy access to the educational, cultural and sporting opportunities of Lower Hutt and Wellington. While most students come from the Belmont area, others come from a broader catchment area as a result of family choice. The school is situated in a community that has traditionally been very stable. New subdivisions are being developed on the Western Hills adjacent to the school.
The school actively nurtures a strong and effective partnership in learning with families and the community. All systems operating in the school demonstrate the priority given to this. All the staff have a commitment to their own on going learning, and this is encouraged and financially supported by the Board of Trustees. In partnership with the community, they have a clear focus on the ongoing achievement of the school’s purpose . The New Zealand Curriculum Framework legislates for and ensures effective curriculum delivery.
We continue to maintain 100 involvement in this process and have done so since its introduction in 200. Student progress and teaching decisions are illustrated through the ongoing development of an individual portfolio. The Board of Trustees is kept fully informed of student achievement and curriculum development through the principal’s monthly report. Classroom programmes targeted towards specific student need and passions and interests. Specific and ongoing curriculum differentiation to meet identified student need.
This includes students who have specific learning needs, high health needs and those students who are gifted and talented
