At Belmont School, we enable our pupils to improve their academic performance, overcome their behavioural difficulties, develop their social skills and raise their aspirations. Many of our pupils have previously had negative experiences of school and feelings of failure and frustration. Through our positive approach to rewards and incentives, underpinned by strong structure and boundaries, our pupils develop self-belief, display positive behaviours and quickly establish a strong sense of belonging to our school. By rebuilding self-esteem and forging positive relationships, our pupils replace failure with success.
The aims and values of the school emphasise a strong commitment to provide a high quality provision for all our students and reflect the Visions, Mission and Values of Outcomes First Group of which we are a part of. The school aims and values are embedded in the school policies and are reflected in the culture of the school:

- To promote each student’s academic and social development
- To actively promote British values
- To actively promote individual liberty
