Abacus Belsize Primary School

Our school is proud to be part of Anthem, a multi-academy trust that creates ambitious and successful schools where every child thrives.

Abacus Belsize Primary School is a primary school which opened in September 2013 under the Free Schools Programme to help meet the local need for school places. A member of the Anthem Schools Trust family of schools, we are secular and welcome children from all backgrounds.

Our mission is to foster a positive, creative and multi-sensory learning environment that inspires each child to maximise their individual talents, curiosity and ability to think. At Abacus, we believe all children are entitled to enjoy their childhood and live it actively.

Our aim at Abacus is to make a positive contribution to the development of children as individuals and as members of the community. We want to give children a sense of who they are and where they belong in the world. This involves encouraging respect for other people’s viewpoints.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff, visitors, and volunteers to share in this commitment. All post holders are subject to an Enhanced DBS Check, suitable references, and other essential checks. Staff involved in recruitment and selection of employees are trained in safer recruitment, and all our staff and volunteers undertake Child Protection training.

• Pension schemes - TPS (Teachers) and LGPS (Non-Teachers)
