All Scottish schools are currently guided by ‘A Curriculum for Excellence’.<\/p>\n
What is Curriculum for Excellence?
\nThe Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) is the Scottish curriculum programme which replaces the previous national 5-14 curricular guidelines.
\nTeachers will now work on delivering the curriculum using Experiences and Outcomes – a rigorous framework for progression – within each of
\nthe levels of CfE. Curriculum for Excellence is bringing learning to life for all 3-18 year olds \u2013 in nursery, primary, secondary, at college,
\nworkplace or community learning. It takes a fresh approach to what, how and where young people learn. It aims to raise standards, improve
\nknowledge and develop skills, closing the gap between the lowest and highest performers. Ultimately it aims to nurture young people as successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens.<\/p>\n
Why Curriculum for Excellence?
\nThe world is changing fast. We need to prepare learners for jobs that don\u2019t exist, using technology that hasn\u2019t yet been invented, to
\nsolve problems we can\u2019t yet imagine. We aim to equip young people with knowledge, confidence and skills, giving them a competitive edge
\nin a global job market. Teachers will make connections between subjects, helping children make sense of the world. Children will learn how
\nto learn and how to use their learning, not just memorise information to pass tests. This will help them adapt in an uncertain future with the
\nability to think for themselves, make sound judgements, challenge, enquire and find solutions.<\/p>\n
Curriculum Levels
\nSome children and young people will start learning at these levels earlier and others later, depending upon individual needs and abilities.
\nThe framework is however designed to be flexible in order to permit careful planning for those with additional support needs or those
\nwho are particularly able or talented.<\/p>\n
Level Stage
\nEarly The pre-school years and P1, or later for some.
\nFirst To the end of P4, but earlier or later for some.
\nSecond To the end of P7, but earlier or later for some.
\nThird and Fourth S1 to S3, but earlier for some<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
