Significant events
- “Completed some transformational capital projects during the year; our nursery now has an impressive new playground and our astro turf pitch has been completely rejuvenated and used by the whole school community and other local groups.”
- “Started September 2024 with the opening of our latest set of 6 classrooms. The project was funded by Liverpool City Council at their request to increase our pupil allocation number. Roof and window works continued funded by the Department of Education.”
- “In March, we welcomed a team of inspectors from Ofsted to Belvedere. The whole school community was hugely supportive of one another during a busy couple of days and we were delighted to be rated outstanding in Behaviour and Attitudes as well as in Personal Development with the team recognising our "brave and innovative" approach to enabling all our pupils to gain positive outcomes at our school.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
