A Curriculum for Excellence is Scotland's education guidelines for all 3-18 year olds. It is structured around the four capacities and helps children gain the knowledge, skills and attributes needed to prepare them for the future. It aims to raise standards and equip young people for the jobs of tomorrow in a fast-changing word.
The curriculum is designed to go beyond the classroom to provide coherent, flexible and enriched curricular opportunities in a variety of contexts.
The curriculum map below gives an overview of how the curriculum is organised at Hazlehead. Our school vision and values underpin everything we do at Hazlehead. We strive to give pupils opportunities to develop the knowledge and skills required to be successful learners as well as the opportunities to develop personal passions and interests. Every child should feel successful and capable of developing their skills, knowledge and personal interests.
Involving pupils in leading their learning has huge benefits. We achieve this in a variety of ways including involving them in planning contexts for learning, constructing success criteria, assessing their own work and planning next steps.
Pupils reflect on their successes and next steps to help them develop a clear idea of what they need to do to improve their work and achieve the highest possible standard.
Teachers share learning intentions and success criteria with pupils so that pupils have a clear idea of what they are aiming to achieve.
