Belgrave School is a nurturing school where children learn literacy and maths in compatible groups according to specific need rather than age. Curriculum subjects are taught in small groups according to age and social development. This ensures children enjoy the learning experience and reach their full potential.
Children, who have been unhappy at their previous school, are delighted to find themselves in a school where other children may have similar specific difficulties and the teachers are sympathetic and understanding.
It is wonderful to watch them develop as their confidence grows.
