Belvedere Academy is going to reopen between 10am and midday today, offering support to students and staff following Friday's crash.

Eight pupils were injured when the 80-year-old driver of a car mounted the kerb, hitting a group of children waiting for the school bus.

Four of the girls are still in hopsital recovering from their injuries, but none are in a life-threatening condition.

An investigation by Merseyside Police is now underway to establish what caused the incident.

''The thoughts of everyone at Belvedere are very much with the injured girls and their families, as well as those who witnessed the accident.''

''I would like to thank the emergency services, parents and members of the local community for their tremendous support during what was an extremely difficult situation.''
