Our approach to learning

At The Belham, we inspire and educate our pupils by providing them with stimulating learning experiences that will enable them to explore the world and their place in it.

We hold the belief that every Belhamite should develop a lifelong enthusiasm for learning. Our goal is to provide them with the necessary skills to find their passions and create a better future for them and others.

We use evidence-based teaching approaches, drawing from the work of the Education Endowment Foundation and London South Research School to ensure the highest quality teaching. Our curriculum is firmly rooted in our local community, enabling students to embody our core values and understand the context of the world around them and further afield.

“As educators, our aim should be to empower every student to become the architect of their own learning journey. By fostering metacognition, providing effective feedback, and maintaining high expectations, we can create a classroom environment where all learners can thrive and achieve their full potential."
