An introduction to our school

At Belvoir High School we aim to retain the best of traditional values in education while being at the forefront of developments in teaching and learning.

The level of academic achievement achieved by pupils at Belvoir High School is very high: progress from Year 7 through to Year 11 is ‘outstanding’ (Ofsted 2010). However, we do not forget that each child is unique, and that the key to unlocking his or her enthusiasm for learning will vary from one child to another.  Consequently, the school is committed to providing a broad range of experiences and opportunities for our pupils both inside, and outside, the classroom.

The school provides a broad curriculum, taught by specialist teachers in specialist areas. There are also many out-of-school activities and clubs, a House system, and a well developed programme of trips and residential visits to places both within the UK and abroad.

There is a full school uniform, and we set a high premium on good standards of behaviour and respect for others.  We believe we are successful in this regard, and we are proud of the pupils at Belvoir High School. 

We have high expectations concerning the achievement and behaviour of all our pupils, whatever their starting points.  "Opportunity and Achievement for All" is a mission statement that guides our actions and our planning and it is important to us that all young people develop a sense of belonging and self-esteem founded upon personal successes. The Ofsted inspections in 2008 and 2010 both commented positively on the ethos across the school:

"Pupils’ personal development is outstanding. There is a very strong sense of pride in the school, shared by staff and pupils. In this atmosphere, pupils develop as individuals with a strong sense of community and identity as well as confidence. They enjoy school immensely." Ofsted 2010

You can be assured that staff at Belvoir High will do their utmost to help your child to be happy and successful at school, and with your help and support we are confident we will succeed.
