Belmore School

Overview

Belmore School is a specialist government school at 49 Stroud Street, Balwyn, providing specialist education for students with intellectual disabilities across a broad age range. Located in a quiet residential pocket of Balwyn, the school is accessed via Stroud Street and the surrounding network of leafy avenues including Balwyn Road and Whitehorse Road. The school's small size and specialist focus create an environment where individualised learning plans and therapeutic support are central to daily practice. Belmore operates with significant allied health integration, supporting families navigating complex educational journeys. The area is characterised by large, established family homes and tree-lined streets that give Balwyn its distinctly calm, suburban feel. Maranoa Gardens, a council-managed native garden reserve on Beckett Street, is nearby and offers a gentle outdoor environment suitable for school groups. Balwyn Park provides large open spaces used by the broader community for sport and recreation. Whitehorse Road trams and the Belgrave and Lilydale train lines at Canterbury and Chatham stations give families with diverse transport needs reasonable access. The Balwyn Road café and retail strip is within comfortable distance for families waiting before collection. A well-resourced specialist school serving families from across Boroondara's eastern suburbs.
