The Belvedere Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for The Belvedere Academy?
The catchment area for The Belvedere Academy is the geographic zone Liverpool uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places. Children living inside the boundary are ranked higher under the oversubscription criteria, after looked-after children and siblings. Liverpool publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

The Belvedere Academy has a published admission number of 1014 places. 1128 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 111%. At 111% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Liverpool allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.
The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 26% of pupils at The Belvedere Academy are eligible for free school meals, broadly in line with the national average. This reflects a mixed catchment population across Liverpool.
