Why choose us?

At Belmont, your child will be offered the chance to excel in so many areas. We encourage every child to embrace challenge, to understand that success comes from hard work and persistence, and that failure is not the end. We will teach them a positive mindset, to think creatively and critically, and build flexible skills for a fast-changing world of new technologies.

When a child joins Belmont, they will not only have the opportunity to enjoy a vast, rich curriculum, but also become equipped with the necessary skills to think on their feet and work under pressure, no matter what the future brings.

Our Values

“The curriculum is complemented by an innovative and well-resourced co-curricular programme, which benefits pupils of all ages and abilities. The programme is wide ranging and well coordinated across the schools to support pupil progression. The co-curricular programme engenders pupils’ interests as well as develops pupils’ knowledge, skills and understanding. This is a significant strength of the school.”

ISI Inspection 2024

“Undoubtedly the school’s selling point, the grounds and its facilities are impressive for a London-based prep school.”

Good Schools Guide

“Teachers are experienced, have good subject knowledge and follow well-planned schemes of work, adapting their teaching to effectively meet the needs of pupils.”

ISI Inspection 2024

"A school that gets the best of both worlds – the rich diversity and good transport links of a London school along with the overall feel (partly because it’s on the fringes) of a more rural prep."
