The Belvedere Preparatory School
School summary
A small independent school in Liverpool, The Belvedere Preparatory School educates around 146 mixed pupils from the ages of 3 to 11. Its intimate size allows staff to know each child well, and the Independent Schools Inspectorate awarded its top grade of "excellent" for both quality of education and personal development. The school is led by Head Miss Clare Burnham and has no religious affiliation. It is worth noting, however, that the most recent ISI inspection found compliance standards were not met, an area parents may wish to explore further.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small Liverpool prep with top marks for education and pupil development, though its unmet compliance finding is a point families should weigh.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
