 We are following the guidelines of A Curriculum for Excellence to ensure that all children are having access to a curriculum that has:

• Breadth
• Depth
• Challenge
• Progression
• Coherence
• Challenge and enjoyment

Within the subject area of Health and Wellbeing children have relevant experiences of appropriate Learning Outcomes which are carefully matched to their ability.

A variety of teaching strategies are employed to deliver this curricular area, including

• active learning opportunities
• cooperative learning strategies
• AifL strategies
• Formal traditional teaching methods

Appropriate resources are used to support the learning which include published core resources, in addition to IT generated interactive materials, other published resources and teacher-produced materials.

All classes will follow PATHs programme.
