In 2007, Belvedere was the first independent school to become an academy and is continuing the traditions and standards of its predecessor school. We have high expectations of all our students and we support them with excellent pastoral care. Our extensive Enrichment programme allows pupils to develop into well rounded individuals. In March 2025, Ofsted judged us Outstanding in Behaviour and Attitudes and in Personal Development. We were delighted that they recognised how our “ambitious” curriculum inspired our pupils to be, “ambitious for their futures” within an “inclusive” community in which pupils “can be themselves”.

Children of our staff have a higher priority in our Y7 admissions process - please see the Admissions Policy on our website or call the academy office for further details.
