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 & English, Numeracy & Maths and Health and Wellbeing are addressed throughout the curriculum as our core subjects. 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 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, particularly in relation to more sensitive aspects of learning.
Further information about the curriculum is available on the school website, and more general information regarding Curriculum for Excellence can be found at Parentzone, a national resource developed by Education Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Government.
