What happens in Scottish Schools?
Curriculum for Excellence was introduced to a mixture of great acclaim, (though also considerable confusion for many staff in schools). A great deal of training was put into place for Scottish Schools to review, adapt and embrace this new curriculum.
It works on a principle of learning as a continuum throughout childhood and the wider concepts of education, running from 3-18 yrs.
