Curriculum levels – there are national levels to describe different stages of learning and progress. For most* children, the expectation is:

• Early Level – pre-school to the end of P1

• First Level – to the end of P4

• Second Level – to the end of P7

• Third and Fourth Levels – S1 to S3, with the fourth level broadly equivalent to SCQF  level 4

• Senior Phase – S4 to S6, and equivalents in other settings, where they can continue to develop the four capacities and achieve qualifications

(*but can be earlier/later for some as applicable, depending upon individual needs and aptitude)
