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.
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. 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 parents to receive information and be consulted upon the curriculum children are following.
Falkland Primary has also developed a P1-7 curriculum pathway, Falkland Footsteps, which is focused on providing opportunity for developing leadership, resilience, teamwork and communication across all eight areas of the curriculum supported by outdoor learning.
