MVP LINKS TO CURRICULUM FOR EXCELLENCE
Scotland’s curriculum – Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) – helps children and young people gain the knowledge, skills and attributes needed for life in the 21st century. A refreshed narrative on Scotland’s curriculum, which sets CfE within the current context, was published in September 2019. It is available in both English and in Gaelic.
In Partnership with Education Scotland, the MVP programme has been linked with Curriculum for Excellence. The activities in the sessions contribute to the following experiences and outcomes. Individual MVP Session include information on the relevant experiences and outcomes for that session.
