Outside the Classroom
We firmly believe that learning does not just take place in the classroom and all Belmontians have the opportunity to develop new skills, gain experience of leadership, challenge themselves and support others, whilst constantly developing their character in all they do. The all-round, holistic learning experience of a Belmont pupil is at the heart of all we do.
Our extra-curricular activities create leadership experiences, enabling pupils to find their place in the world, enhancing their communication skills, creative thinking and ability to inspire others.
We provide a diverse range of activities aimed at empowering each student to overcome challenges, discover more about themselves, build confidence, and shape their own identity.
Clubs and Activities
Belmont offers a wealth of extra-curricular activities satisfying all interests and curiosities and enabling pupils to take risks and try out new things. Nearly 100+ clubs run at lunchtime or after school each week. With clubs ranging from horse-riding to robotics, there will always be something for everyone.
We are a school that understands the importance of giving all pupils a chance to discover their own passions and a platform to showcase their abilities.
Sport
Our mission is to ensure that each pupil is equipped with the motivation, skills and knowledge to foster a life-long love and active involvement in physical activity.
Belmont has excellent sports facilities, set in stunning, landscaped grounds. We have Netball courts, Rugby and Football pitches, an astroturf for Hockey, Cricket squares (including artificial surfaces), Tennis courts, a woodland Cross-Country course and a gymnasium. In addition, we have regular use of Mill Hill School’s Swimming pool, sports hall and large astroturf.
Sport plays an integral role in the education and wellbeing of all Belmontians and is central to our culture. Through the comprehensive PE and Games programmes, we equip pupils with the tools to cope with success and failure, to work with others, and to encourage the appreciation of fair play.
Belmont have five ‘focus’ sports across two terms, with boys doing rugby and football and girls playing hockey and netball. In the Summer Term, boys and girls play cricket together. Alongside the focus sports we also offer greater depth and breadth in our support sports which include girls’ football, athletics, swimming, gymnastics, tennis, fencing, fives and table tennis.
In the last academic year Belmont pupils have enjoyed a whole range of sport tours from weekend and week-long Rugby tours to Brighton and Biarritz, a Girls’ sports tour to Malta, IAPS football and netball tournaments in Cambridge. Further afield, pupils have enjoyed cricket and netball tours to Antigua and Barbados in recent years.
