Our aim is to provide a high-quality education for every child at Meiklemill School. We do this through delivering the Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) in Scotland which seeks to develop the following four capacities in every one of our pupils:
· Confident Individuals
· Successful Learners
· Effective Contributors
· Responsible Citizens
In Scotland, children and young people will progress through six curricular levels or stages from the age of 3 to 18 via a series of learning and teaching Experiences and Outcomes. In Primary education each of these levels generally spans three years.
Please note these are broad and general guidelines. It is not uncommon to have children in P1 working within first level or indeed children in P7 working at first level. The attainment level of a child will depend entirely on their strengths, areas for developments and any additional support needs.
At Meiklemill, it is our job to plan using the Curriculum for Excellence to provide relevant learning opportunities which meet the needs of each pupil and motivate and inspire children to achieve their full potential.
Our curriculum rationale provides a summary of how we seek to provide meet the aspirations of Curriculum for Excellence. This was built with our pupils, who came up with the idea of the road map, and it is proudly displayed in our school hall.
Parents often ask us what exactly it means if they find their child is “working within a level” of Curriculum for Excellence. This means a child’s progress is such that their needs are best met by working with the learning experiences and outcomes in that level of Curriculum for Excellence.
Below you will find a variety of links to documents which will support your understanding of how we implement CfE in our school. We have put three documents below which we draw on when planning. They give specific details on the kinds of learning opportunities you might find at different levels. We hope you find this useful but please do get in touch with us if we can help.
