Curriculum for Excellence 3-18
Curriculum for Excellence has been introduced to raise standards of learning and teaching for all 3 to 18 year olds. It aims to help prepare children and young people with the knowledge and skills they need in a fast changing world. As part of Curriculum for Excellence all children from pre-school to the end of S3 will receive a rounded education known as a Broad General Education (BGE). Curriculum for Excellence is all about bringing real life into the classroom and taking lessons beyond it.
Through the experiences we provide at Balornock Primary School we want our children to become Successful Learners, Confident Individuals, Responsible Citizens and Effective Contributors.
Progress in learning is indicated through curriculum levels as detailed below.
| Level | Stage |
| Early | The pre-school years and P1 or later |
| First | To the end of P4, but earlier or later for some |
| Second | To the end of P7, but earlier or later for some |
| Third & Fourth | S1-S3, but earlier for some |
