Fife schools follow Curriculum for Excellence, a national framework which is providing our children with learning experiences and opportunities to prepare them for learning, life and work in a changing world. Children learn actively in eight different curricular areas following a curriculum designed by each school to reflect their particular needs and circumstances.
All schools follow the same principles in designing the curriculum, aimed at ensuring that children have the experiences and opportunities to become:
- Successful Learners
- Confident Individuals
- Effective Contributors
- Responsible Citizens
Literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing are addressed throughout the curriculum and children’s wider achievements are fully recognised and celebrated, reflecting the value given to wider learning and children’s experiences out of school.
Children are fully consulted throughout their learning and in decisions about what they learn and how they learn it. There are opportunities throughout the school year for families to receive information and be consulted upon the curriculum children are following, particularly in relation to more sensitive aspects of learning.
Religious and moral education is a core subject for all children attending primary schools in Scotland. Schools also provide opportunities for religious observance in order to promote the spiritual development of the school community. Families can choose to withdraw their children from participation in religious education or religious observance. Families wishing to do this should contact the headteacher. The school will make arrangements for children to participate in a suitable alternative activity.
Further information about the curriculum is available on the website.
During the school year a variety of After School Clubs run which children are encouraged to attend.
We encourage our pupils to be actively engaged in school life and children have the opportunity to be involved and express their opinions through a variety of forums; Pupil Voice sessions (Class representation across all stages), charitable events, Showcases of Learning for families and services..
