Bringing learning to life and life to learning

Curriculum for Excellence is now in use across Scotland for all 3-18 year olds – wherever they learn. It aims to raise standards and prepare our children for the future by equipping them for the jobs of tomorrow in a fast changing world.  

Curriculum for Excellence enables professionals to teach subjects creatively, to work together across the school and with other schools, to share best practice and explore learning together. Glow, Scotland’s unique, world-leading, online network supports learners and teachers in this and plans are already in place for parents across the country to have access to Glow. 

Teachers and practitioners now share information to plan a child’s ‘learning journey’ from 3-18, helping their progression from nursery to primary, primary to secondary and beyond, ensuring the change is smooth.   These ensure children continue to work at a pace they can cope with and with challenge they can thrive on.  

Curriculum for Excellence balances the importance of knowledge and skills.
There are new ways of assessing progress and ensuring children achieve their potential.
