Curriculum for Excellence - bringing learning to life and life to learning  

Curriculum for Excellence aims to raise standards, prepare our children for a future they do not yet know and equip them for the jobs of tomorrow in a fast-changing world. Recently, and following advice from the International Council of Education Advisers, the Scottish Government has worked with partners to update the narrative around CfE.  This has now been published on a dedicated website and provides a helpful overview of the intent and aspirations of our Scottish curriculum - ‘the totality of all that is planned for children and young people throughout their education’.

Curriculum for Excellence balances the importance of knowledge and skills. Every child is entitled to a broad and deep general education, whatever their level and ability. Every teacher and practitioner is  responsible for the development of literacy and numeracy from Early Level through to Senior Phase. It develops skills for learning, life and work, bringing real life into the classroom, making learning relevant and helping young people apply lessons to their life beyond the classroom. It links knowledge in one subject area to another helping to make connections in their learning. It develops skills which can enable children to think for themselves, make sound judgements, challenge, enquire and find solutions. 

The delivery of the curriculum at Kaimhill School is underpinned by our clear rationale and also a strong sense of integrity - all are valued as equals and we celebrate the diversity that is our wonderfully unique Kaimhill School Community.
