* Transfer to Prep School classes when ready - the norm being into Belmont's 4th Form (National Curriculum Year 6). Children return for ongoing support as required up to age 13. We are able to provide for all levels of need from full provision in English, Maths, typing and Oral French (15 lessons) to one 1-1 lesson per week.
* Excellent facilities: heated swimming pool, all-weather pitches, Gymnasium, etc.
* Games/PE taught by Preparatory School - pupils play in joint school teams.
