The Belham Primary School

Awful awful awful.. one of the most racist experiences of me and my child's life had to get him out of there quick. Full of bigots and snooty horrible people. The reception and up to about yr1 staff need to be somewhere else as the school does not deserve them. If your child is of colour or needs sen support do not put your child in this school. My son was I jured due to neglect I was lied to to safe the teachers who's fault it was the headteacher socks her head in the sand. I went through so much my son cried every morning. They have only celebrated black history month 2 times. Once because I had to beg for them to at least mark the occasion.. do not send ypu child here.

Had to get our child out of this school. Despite the promise of an 'inclusive' and 'glittering' school, our child's mental health would have been destroyed had we stayed here. Individual teachers are good, but management was terrible particularly after they joined a multi-academy trust, which made them coldly corporate. They refused to get the correct training and use the correct (expert-proven and advised) strategies to support our child's specific needs, and as a result they massively exacerbated our child's challenges in school rather than supporting them. We were horrified, but we are all so completely happy and thriving now that we are out of there. Virtually no meaningful outdoor space either, very cramped.
