East Renfrewshire Focus Group – Mearns Castle High, 29th April
A National Parent Forum focus group to take place in East Renfrewshire.
The focus group will seek parents views on CfE , its implementation and ongoing development not just in East Renfrewshire but in other areas and parents from outwith East Renfrewshire will also be attending.
The focus group takes place this Wednesday in Mearns Castle High at 7pm.
CfE aims to achieve a transformation in education by providing a coherent, more flexible and enriched curriculum, assessment and qualifications system from 3 to 18.
The introduction of new qualifications is part of this, with the aim of reflecting the new style of learning, which places an emphasis on skills and knowledge and tests the understanding and application of knowledge as well as facts.
We would like to hear whether you as a parent feel that CfE is achieving these ambitions for you as a parent and for your children as they embark on their CfE journey.
We will feedback this parental perspective at all discussions surrounding education at a National Policy level, including the CfE Management Board, and hope that it will provide information to feed into the OECD report.
If you’d like to book a place, or would like more information, please contact our East Renfrewshire rep Joe McLachlan east.renfrewshire@npfs.org.uk Travel expenses can be reimbursed.
