Bellerive FCJ Catholic College is an all-girls secondary school and a coeducational sixth form located on Windermere Terrace in Liverpool.[1] It is a Roman Catholic school, and has academy status.
Admissions
It is a catholic girls' school. It is situated at the junction of the two sections of the A5089, on the Trans Pennine Trail.
History
The school opened in 1844 as a boarding school on Great George's Square, offering instruction in Geography, use of globes, Botany, History, Writing, Arithmetic, French and Italian languages. After 52 years the school was moved to Princes Park[2] in 1887.
Direct grant grammar school
Like several single-sex catholic secondary schools in Liverpool it was a direct grant grammar school, the Bellerive Girls' School, commonly known as Bellerive Convent Grammar School, from 1946.[3] The Belvedere Academy, another girls' school, is on the opposite side of Princes Park, and is also a former direct grant grammar school known as the Belvedere School for Girls. Another catholic girls' direct grant grammar school in Liverpool was the Notre Dame Collegiate School, now the Notre Dame Catholic College.
The school had boarding facilities until 1961.
In the 1970s the headteacher was Sister Mary Gabriel.
Comprehensive
It became a comprehensive in 1983, becoming the upper school of St Mary's RC High School. The lower school was at the former St Margaret Clitherow school.
In 1997 it became known as Bellerive Convent FCJ, later Bellerive Catholic High School FCJ. It gained Science College status in 2003, and Maths and Computing College status in 2007.
Sister Brigid Halligan, the headteacher, received the OBE in the 2008 New Year Honours.
Academy
The school became an academy in August 2012, and is no longer under local authority control. However the school continues to coordinate admissions with the Liverpool local authority.
Academic performance
In 2010 it received above average GCSE results, much improved from the year before. At A level, in 2011, the school results were broadly inline with national averages post 16 and are improving.
