Working Weeks: All year round

At Belmore Primary School, we exist to change lives through education. We believe that when children experience bold learning and rich opportunities, they develop the confidence, resilience and aspiration that stays with them long after they leave primary school. Our values — being child-centred, building belonging, bringing joy, holding high aspirations and offering rich experiences — are not just words on a wall. They shape how we teach, how we learn and how every member of our team works together every day.

Teaching at Belmore is about far more than delivering lessons — it is about changing lives. Every day you step into the classroom, you carry our vision with you: when you plan a lesson that ignites curiosity, you are bringing joy to learning; when you spot a child who needs a different approach and adapt in the moment, you are being truly child-centred. Your high expectations communicate that every child in your class has limitless potential. Through the relationships you build — with children, families and colleagues — you weave the sense of belonging that defines who we are. At Belmore, teachers are not just educators. They are changemakers.
