| Key Stage 3 (Years 7, 8 and 9)
All National Curriculum subjects are studied at Balderstone.
We take great care to maximise the potential of our
students and we work to support their individual learning
needs. Our students are taught in groups setted according
to their ability.
Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11)
Our senior students follow a dynamic and diverse
curriculum built on high expectations and a commitment to
meet the individual needs of all. To achieve this, students,

appropriate courses which lead to nationally recognised
qualifications. |

- partnership with Further Education colleges who provide a series
of “master class” events
