Its aims are to improve our children\u2019s life chances, to nurture successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens. It develops skills for learning, life and work, bringing real life into the classroom, making learning relevant and helping young people apply lessons to their life beyond the classroom. It links knowledge in one subject area to another, helping children make connections in their learning. It develops skills which can enable children to think for themselves, make sound judgements, challenge, enquire and find solutions. Curriculum for Excellence balances the importance of knowledge and skills. Every child is entitled to a broad and deep general education, whatever their level and ability. All teachers will be responsible for the development of literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing. There is an entitlement to personal support to help young people fulfil their potential and make the most of their opportunities with additional support wherever that\u2019s needed. There will be a new emphasis by all staff on looking after our children\u2019s health and wellbeing \u2013 to ensure that the school is a place where children feel safe and secure. Ultimately, Curriculum for Excellence aims to improve our children\u2019s life chances, to nurture successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors, and responsible citizens, building on Scotland\u2019s reputation for great education.
