The Scottish Government has published four new short films on the Engage for Education website – three sector specific, featuring a nursery, primary and secondary school, and one combined – in which learners, parents and teachers describe in their own words the impact and benefits of Curriculum for Excellence.

The films contribute towards the Cabinet Secretary’s Curriculum for Excellence Action Plan 2011/12 commitment to develop new materials for parents which illustrate the benefits of Curriculum for Excellence, following calls for such resources from parents. They have been developed in co-operation with the National Parent Forum of Scotland and aim to show the types of impact and benefits that CfE is already having in early years, primary and early secondary settings across the country.
