The Belsteads School, Back Lane, Little Waltham, Essex, CM3 3PP

Welcome From Our Founder

My name is Peter and I am the founder and proprietor of the Belsteads School.

In 2017 after a 17 year career in London and realising that helping people is more in line with my passions, I left London to open the Belsteads School. Having passion but no knowledge (of what is required to open a school) meant there would be challenges ahead, but persistence always pays off and after 6 years of being open I am very proud of what we have achieved at The Belsteads School.

The school has moved forward every year and my dream of creating a space where children can be the individuals they were born to be without the Rigid structures of mainstream education is now starting to materialise .

We are far from the finished article but we are definitely on the right path and we will continue to improve. We have so many success stories already and I’m looking forward to creating so many more .

In Erica we have an amazing head who is delivering this and the school is very lucky to have such an amazing head. I feel very lucky to be part of this amazing journey and cannot wait for the next steps ahead.
