Balby Carr Community Sports College (known to many simply as 'Balby Carr'), is a new college located in the Balby area of Doncaster in the United Kingdom.
[edit] History
The college was granted special 'Sports College' status in September, 2003. Before this the college was a secondary school (known as 'Balby Carr Secondary School') primarily teaching students of 11 - 18 years of age.
[edit] Present
Since receiving official sports college status, the college has been extensively redeveloped and includes several new additions to the campus such as all-weather sports pitches, campus wide WLAN access points and improved facilities for current students.
Whilst the college specialises in sports courses and sports related science courses, the old 'Balby Carr School' still functions as it did before 2003 with students from 11 - 18 years being able to continue to study as it were a school, whilst at the same time, the college is able to offer more 'advanced' courses to older students.
A City Learning Centre (CLC) is also located on the Balby Carr campus. This provides residents in the local area with free and paid for lessons in computer skills. The centre and also provides a day-care facility.
