What is Curriculum for Excellence?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Curriculum for Excellence aims to achieve a transformation in education in Scotland by providing an improved, more flexible and enriched curriculum for all children and young people from 3 \u2013 18. The curriculum includes all of the experiences which are planned for children and young people through their education, wherever they are being educated.\u00a0 All schools and nurseries in North Lanarkshire are working hard to raise standards so that children and young people will develop all of the skills necessary to continue to be successful when leaving school and entering the world of higher education, training or work.<\/p>\n

Curriculum for Excellence is underpinned by the values inscribed on the mace of the Scottish Parliament \u2013 wisdom, justice, compassion and integrity. The purpose of Curriculum for Excellence is encapsulated in the four capacities \u2013 to enable each child or young person to be a successful learner, a confident individual, a responsible citizen and an effective contributor.<\/p>\n
