Belmont Junior School

Belmont Junior School is a warm, inclusive and well-led school where pupils feel known, safe and encouraged to aim high. Safeguarding standards are met, and inspection findings are strong for attendance and behaviour, inclusion, leadership and governance, and personal development and wellbeing. Pupils behave very well, attend regularly, support each other, and benefit from a caring environment with effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities and disadvantaged pupils. The school is fulfilling the expected standard in achievement and curriculum and teaching. Pupils typically achieve well and published outcomes are broadly in line with national averages, with secure reading, writing and grammar knowledge and growing confidence in mathematics. The main area for development is consistency in curriculum delivery, particularly the school's approaches to foundational skills such as handwriting, so that all pupils develop secure foundations and confidence to apply their knowledge independently. This was a full section 5 inspection. The school is part of the Belmont Infant & Junior School Federation and has no alternative provision. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is below average, while pupils with special educational needs support, education, health and care plans, and location deprivation are close to average.

Admissions: local authority offers data from the Department for Education. A school is oversubscribed when at least 5% of the families who put it first were not offered a place, and undersubscribed when everyone who put it first got in but 10% or more of its places were unfilled in the Department's school capacity survey (the latest survey is used for entry years it does not cover). Places: Department for Education, School capacity, from local authorities' annual survey as at 1 May. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024–25); the survey was not run in 2020. Places include sixth form places. Forecasts are the local authority's own for the school's planning area, an area it uses to plan places that is not the school's catchment area. The forecast starts from a head count in 2025; the dashed line is the Department's estimate of places in that area, including those the authority has firm plans for. Planned places are cumulative, and only those with firm plans are counted.

Sessions missed

Pupils persistently absent

Source: Department for Education, Pupil absence in schools in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Persistent absence means missing 10% or more of sessions; severe absence means 50% or more. No figures were published for 2019/20.

Pupils suspended at least once

Source: Department for Education, Suspensions and permanent exclusions in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). A pupil can be suspended more than once, so suspensions per 100 pupils can be higher than the share of pupils suspended. Very small numbers are hidden by the DfE. Exclusion figures dropped in 2020 and 2021 because of school closures.

Pupils per teacher

Teachers who left the school within a year

Source: Department for Education, School workforce in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Pupils per teacher counts full-time-equivalent pupils and teachers. Turnover is the share of a year's teachers (full-time equivalent) who were not at the school the following year, whether they moved to another school or left state-funded teaching. Turnover and sickness figures run one year behind the ratios. Sick leave is the share of teachers who took at least one day in the year, so it swings widely at small schools, where a few teachers can make it 0% or 100%. The national figures are for all state schools of the same type.

In 2025–26, 22.0% of pupils at Belmont Junior School were on SEN support (nationally 15.4%) and 1.8% had an education, health and care (EHC) plan (nationally 4.1%).

Pupils by main type of need

Source: Department for Education, Special educational needs in England (the 2025–26 school census). SEN support is extra help in school without an EHC plan. National figures are for all state-funded primary schools. Counts are as published, with small numbers not hidden.
