Bringing learning to life and life to learning.
Curriculum for Excellence spans learning from 3-18 year olds - wherever they learn. It aims are to improve children’s life chances, to nurture successful learner, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens, building on Scotland’s reputation for excellence in education.
The curriculum develops skills for learning, life and work, bringing real life into the classroom, making learning relevant and helping children apply lessons to their life beyond the classroom. It links knowledge in one subject area to another allowing children to make connections in their learning. It develops skills which can enable children to think for themselves, make sound judgements, challenge, enquire and find solutions.
Curriculum for Excellence balances the importance of knowledge and skills. Every child is entitled to a broad and deep general education, whatever their ability and level. All teachers are responsible for the development of literacy, numeracy and health and well being
All children have an entitlement to personal support to help them fulfil their potential and make the most of their opportunities with additional support, wherever it’s needed. There is a lot of emphasis by all staff on looking after children’s health and wellbeing – to ensure that the school is a place where children feel safe and secure.
