ADMISSIONS

Join the Belleville Family
 

Welcome to Belleville School. We are a friendly, supportive and successful school at the centre of our local community. Our children are happy and settled here. While we are a large school, we never lose sight of an individual child’s experience and our focus on your child’s wellbeing. We retained our Ofsted 'Outstanding' rating in March 2022 and are part of the Quality First Education Trust. We have a reputation for leading the way in educational development and a relentless drive for improvement, excellence and equality, delivering a quality first education to all the children in our care.

Article ImageDeciding which school to send your child to is a very important decision. We welcome children from all parts of our local community and are ready and experienced to help your child settle in quickly, whether they join us in NurseryReception or in Years 1 – 6 where we do occasionally have places available. You can hear from our current children about their experiences of Belleville School here.

Children are happy and successful here, and achieve well beyond the national average. You can find out more about our Leavers' destinations after primary school here.

CHANGE TO ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS FOR 2025-26

The Quality First Education (Q1E) Trust recently consulted on a proposed change to the admission arrangements for Belleville Primary School, to remove the requirement for families of siblings to live within 800 metres of the school. The consultation closed in January 2024 and the trust board considered all responses. The Trust has now made this change, for reception entry in September 2025 and beyond. Our hope is that this change will support our families, keep siblings together, and make our admissions policy easier to understand. 

You can download our consultation document for full details of the proposal that was adopted.
