Broad General Education

We continue throughout S1 – S3 with the Broad General Education.  We utilise attainment and achievement data received from our associated primaries alongside any Additional Support information to inform pupils curriculum.

Across the timetable for S1-S2 children continue to cover the eight curricular areas –

  • Expressive arts
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Languages (including english and modern languages)
  • Mathematics
  • Religious and moral education
  • Sciences
  • Social studies
  • Technologies

Breadth and Depth

Within S3 pupils are given the chance to add some more depth to their curriculum.  Choices are provided through the pupils Learner Pathway.  Pupils have the opportunity to discuss the best curricular pathway for them based on their skills profile and achievement to date with their pupil support teacher.

This link will take you to a Padlet which describes the Pathways available to learners.

S3 Personalisation and Choice Padlet

Learners will balance the Curricular areas with choices that they will make.  Learners will take one subject from each of the focused curricular areas plus another four subject areas. The options will be made once learners have completed their Learner Pathway on an Electronic Form when the learner, parents and carers meet with the child’s pupil support teacher in February each year.

 

 

Attainment Expectations

Across S1-S3 it is recognised that the majority of pupils are working at 3rd into 4th Level.

Support is available for learners who require access to additional support for learning.
