Why Belvedere Sixth Form?
Years 12-13
Top of Liverpool. Full of ambition. This is Belvedere Sixth Form.
28 subjects, 290 students, one of Liverpool's top three Sixth Forms and a whole lot more besides.
Our Sixth Form is fast paced, hard work yet immensely rewarding. We have Enrichment Programmes, Sixth Form trips, mentoring and numerous opportunites available through the Girls’ Day School Trust
The most exciting two years
Some of you reading this will have joined Belvedere in Year 7, and some will be completely new to the academy and eager to find out what we offer. If you are on this page, it is a great start, as you will recognise the importance of an excellent post-16 education and the vast benefits it will bring to you over the next two years and beyond. We believe that this is the most exciting time for you as you exercise increasing freedom and independence in your education.
We want you to consider your decision to apply or transition to Belvedere Sixth Form carefully. To do so, you must consider what we do and see if our idea of the perfect Sixth Form experience aligns with yours. To ensure we provide a vibrant Sixth Form experience, we offer a broad curriculum of 28 A Level and BTEC subjects to a dynamic group of up to 290 students, ensuring a Sixth Form that inspires learning, cultivates curiosity and enriches the lives of our learners. Such a wide range of subjects means that our students are able to choose subjects that perfectly match their needs. We like to think that we provide a Sixth Form experience that is a little different from others – something a bit special!
Top three highest attaining Sixth Forms
We encourage applications from both our current Y11 students and newcomers from other schools who share our values and learning philosophy. We want our students to leave Belvedere Sixth Form with an exceptional set of qualifications. There is little doubt that you will do so as we consistently rank in the top three highest attaining Sixth Forms in Liverpool and we are the top performing all girls’ Sixth Form in the city. But, and a huge but, a successful Sixth Form is not just about academic success. It is about so much more.
An outstanding Sixth Form should be an ambitious and supportive environment where you will be encouraged to have high aspirations both academically and on a personal level, whilst being supported with quality pastoral care to ensure you have the right support every step of the way. On joining, you will be welcomed with a strong sense of community, underpinned by our warm, personalised and student-centred approach. During your time here, you will develop your leadership skills, build your confidence and find a voice. You will be a role model for the younger students and a good friend to your peers. You will leave as a well-rounded young adult with flexible intellectual skills that will allow you to adapt to a rapidly changing world.
Preparation for the future
Our students are bright, articulate and ambitious. Making the right choices ensures that students can match their ambitions. Choosing the right pathway, getting actively involved in the Aspire Award and participating in the Be:Life Ready programme ensures that we prepare our Sixth Formers for future success and happiness. We look forward to working with you to make sure that your time in the Belvedere Sixth Form is successful, rewarding and enjoyable. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us – we are always happy to discuss our provision with students and their families.
