The Academy Buildings - Layout

Finding your way round any new building can be a challenge. All of the rooms in the Belvedere Academy are identifiable by a letter followed by a number. The letter indicates the floor, “B” for basement, “G” for ground, “F” for first and “S” for second. Students soon get used to finding their way to rooms for lessons and the dining room.

We are very proud of our historic buildings, particularly the new outstanding science, MFL, ICT, arts, and sports facilities which have been incorporated into our new building. We expect students joining the Belvedere Academy to respect this.

Generally subjects are grouped together around the Academy, with the same subject classrooms situated next to each other. Please see the examples below:

It is important not to get worried or distressed if you get lost. The Academy is a large site, and has many very different areas. Virtually all girls have been lost at some point, and understand this. Please ask another student or member of staff, if this happens, and they will be only too happy to show you where to go.
