A Curriculum for Excellence.
The curriculum aims to help every learner develop knowledge, skills and attributes for learning, life and work, to enable each child or young person to be a successful learner, a confident individual, a responsible citizen and an effective contributor.
The curriculum is designed on the basis of the following principles:
- Challenge and enjoyment
- Breadth
- Progression
- Depth
- Personalisation and choice
- Coherence
- Relevance
The eight curriculum areas are:
- Expressive arts
- Health and wellbeing
- Languages
- Mathematics
- Religious and moral education
- Sciences
- Social studies
- Technologies
Some of the ways achievement, success and positive pupil contributions are recognised are:
- Formative Comments and Staff Feedback
- Formative Assessment is used.
- Children are active in evaluating their performance.
- Self and peer assessment are used regularly.
The Curriculum for Excellence website is a good source of up to date information about our Journey to Excellence.
