Belvidere Primary School 

Good Afternoon Parents & Guardians     

It’s been a wonderfully busy week here at Belvidere, full of energy and exciting events!
On Wednesday, we hosted a fantastic football competition involving three other schools. Our players performed incredibly well and showed great skill, even when faced with some tough opposition. This was a perfect example of our half-termly value of determination in action—the importance of giving your best effort, even when the challenge is significant.
I’ve always believed that playing against stronger teams is one of the best ways to improve, and I’m confident that our pupils learned a great deal from this experience. A huge thank you to Mr Morris for organising such a brilliant event.
Today, some of our Year 5 & 6 children attended a cricket event at the Sports Village and had a brilliant morning.  Their enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and team spirit made us all proud.
Today marks another exciting occasion—the Christmas Fair! The grotto was prepared yesterday, and every pupil will have the chance to visit during the school day. I hope you all enjoy a wonderful evening and that this event officially kicks off the festive season for you and your family.
A heartfelt thank you to all the Friends of the School and staff members who have generously given their time to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Wishing you all a joyful start to the festive season—may it be filled with laughter, warmth, and special moments with loved ones.
Have a fantastic weekend!

Jewellery

 

Please can we remind parents that children who have their ears pierced should only be wearing studs to school.

No other jewellery should be worn in school.

 

Arbor Balances

  

Please can we remind parents that Arbor balances are kept up to date.

We truly value the flexibility we currently offer, allowing families to pay in arrears. However, if outstanding balances are not cleared promptly, we may be left with no choice but to move to a pre-payment system, as many other schools have already done.

We understand that times are challenging, and we are more than happy to discuss payment plans or offer support where needed. Please do not hesitate to contact the school office in confidence if you require assistance.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
