Education Scotland say that:

“A broad general education will include all of the experiences and outcomes across all curriculum areas up to and including the third level. These should be experienced by all pupils, as far as this is consistent with their learning needs and prior achievements.

This should enable and motivate learners to develop to their fullest across the four capacities. Most learners will progress into the fourth level in many aspects of their learning before the end of S3, laying strong foundations for more specialised learning, qualifications and lifelong learning.

For those learners whose needs are best met through learning at levels below the fourth level, the framework provides the opportunity to build on their prior learning and provide breadth, depth and enrichment.”

In order to accommodate this in maths, our pupils will follow one of three pathways in order to experience the full breadth and depth of the mathematics and numeracy E’s & O’s and benchmarks.
