Curriculum for Excellence

 

The curriculum includes all of the experiences which are planned for children and young people through their education.


Overview

 

Curriculum for Excellence aims to achieve a transformation in education in Scotland by providing a coherent, more flexible and enriched curriculum from 3 to 18.


The curriculum includes the totality of experiences which are planned for children and young people through their education, wherever they are being educated.


It is underpinned by the values inscribed on the mace of the Scottish Parliament - wisdom, justice, compassion and integrity.


The purpose of Curriculum for Excellence is encapsulated in the four capacities – to enable each child or young person to be a successful learner, a confident individual, a responsible citizen and an effective contributor.

Sense over Sectarianism recently produced a document entitled “Meeting Curriculum for Excellence Experiences and Outcomes through anti-sectarian work in your primary school” which highlights the links between the work we as an organisation undertake and the links to the curriculum for excellence. This paper seeks to give schools and teachers an insight in to what is possible when structuring a project using the Sense Over Sectarianism resources.
