Belmont families

Belmont Families is a parent/carer school association whose aim is to raise funds for school enrichment activities, ensuring an equal experience for all children within the school community. It also aims to celebrate and promote our diverse school community to create a friendly, inclusive environment and of course provide extra opportunities to have fun at school!

Our association is about much more than simply fundraising. It exists to provide closer links between home and school and it is an excellent way to bring staff, parents and friends together socially in support of the school, working towards a common goal.

Everyone with responsibility for a child attending either of the two schools is automatically a member of Belmont Families. All teachers and support staff employed by the two schools and the Vale resource base are also members.

We actively fundraise and run social events throughout the year whilst continuously exploring new ways of supporting the school, inspiring our children and lifting their aspirations. Some of our most popular events are cake sales, the Christmas fair, ice skating at Ally Pally and the Summer fair. We have lots planned for the coming year and are always keen to hear different ideas and schemes that we can get involved in and run.

Money we raise goes towards library books, enrichment activities and subsidising school trips to keep costs affordable for families.

The AGM was held on 20th September 2022. The following documents are avalable by clicking the links below:
