Belvedere Junior School is a 3 form entry junior school within The Pioneer Academy. Our motto is Nurture – Inspire - Achieve which is at the heart of every decision we make. Belvedere Junior School is a vibrant school where children are enthusiastic and motivated to achieve endless possibilities.  We provide a safe, caring and fun environment where every child is encouraged to be the best they can be. The children are at the heart of every decision we make to ensure that they are happy, confident and that the opportunities that are provided for them are relevant to their needs both now and in the future.  Our most recent Ofsted inspection, which graded the school as Good, recognised that 'this is a school serving its community by providing the best opportunities for children'.
