Health and Wellbeing Benchmarks
Benchmarks set out clear lines of progression in literacy and English and numeracy and mathematics, and across all other curriculum areas from Early to Fourth Levels (First to Fourth Levels in Modern Languages). Their purpose is to make clear what learners need to know and be able to do to progress through the levels, and to support consistency in teachers’ and other practitioners’ professional judgements.
Benchmarks are designed to be concise and accessible, with sufficient detail to communicate clearly the standards expected for each curriculum level.
All schools are expected to report on curriculum level achievement for literacy and numeracy, and data will be collected and collated for reporting at national level. For the purposes of national reporting, schools are not currently expected to report on CfE levels for any other areas of the curriculum.
Teachers and other practitioners should be given time to engage in professional discussion to become familiar with the Benchmarks and start to use them in line with their school improvement plans.
