Curriculum

We follow the Curriculum for Excellence framework (3-18) as set out by the Scottish Government. This curriculum enables children to meet the ‘four capacities’ as set out in the framework to become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors. This framework will follow your child from their early years in nursery right through to secondary school and, possibly, on to further education. This ensures a smooth transition for your child between nursery to primary and primary to secondary. There are eight areas of the Curriculum with a set of ‘Experiences and Outcomes’ for each area. These areas include: 

Expressive Arts, Health and Wellbeing, Languages, Mathematics Religious and Moral Education, Science, Social Studies and Technologies. Further information about Curriculum for Excellence is available on the following link.

At Eaglesham Nursery, children learn actively and experientially which means they are directly engaged with, and responsible for, their own learning. They learn through play. Staff work with children to plan high quality learning experiences throughout the nursery and work with children to assess progress. Staff plan responsively according to children's needs, interests and abilities. Curriculum for Excellence experiences and outcomes are used to frame all learning and assessment of children's progress.
