Catrine PS and ECC – Curriculum Rationale
In line with the review of our Vision, Values and Aims, all staff at both Catrine PS and ECC have been involved in updating our Curriculum Rationale.
Our Curriculum Rationale is unique to Catrine, and it highlights ‘What we want for our children and young people, and how we are going to work together to achieve this’.
All staff were consulted and answers collated to emphasise our priorities to ensure excellence in teaching and learning experiences.
The words in the border around our Curriculum Rationale highlight the authority and national guidelines and priorities which guide our practice, and the key elements of
A Curriculum for Excellence which drives our planning and assessment.
I am pleased and proud to share our Curriculum Rationale with you.

Catrine PS and ECC – Vision, Values and Aims
We regularly highlight our Vision, Values and Aims with our pupils in both our school and ECC through a variety of activities, and our pupils have a good understanding of what they mean and how we apply them at Catrine PS and ECC. Through monthly GLOW questionnaires, we ask parents/carers for their opinions and comments about our school and ECC, and their responses are always very much appreciated. As a staff, we annually review our Vision, Values and Aims and have collaborated to produce a poster detailing them, which will be a reference point for future discussions with our pupils, and for our priorities moving forward. Our Vision, Values and Aims poster highlight our priorities and give examples of how we put them into action in our establishments.
I’m proud to present you with our new Vision, Values and Aims poster which will be proudly displayed in both our school and ECC.
