Results below include those reported under the school’s previous registration: Belvidere School (URN 123570, until 1 November 2018).
What the data says
Belvidere School has no sixth form. Of the 161 pupils who finished Year 11 there in 2023, 71% moved to a sixth form college, 5% to a further education college and 5% started an apprenticeship.
Sixth form colleges are the main next step: 71% of leavers went to one, roughly three times the England rate of 13%.
GCSE results in 2025 were below the national picture: Attainment 8 of 39.8 against 46.1 across England and 42.5 in Shropshire, with 34% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).
As an 11–16 school, Belvidere School is judged on where pupils go at 16 rather than on A level results.
