The Scottish Government's lifelong learning strategy aims to ensure that everyone develops the attributes, knowledge and skills they will need for life, learning and work. The curriculum is all the experiences that are planned for learners to support the development of these skills.
Key factors
- The new Curriculum 3 - 18 will ensure continuity in each child's learning
- Children are at the centre of teaching and learning
- Literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing will be delivered across learning and will be the responsibility of all staff
- Six curricular levels or stages set out the learning progression clearly for each child from 3 - 18 years
- There are eight curricular areas: languages, mathematics, health and wellbeing, expressive arts, religious and moral education, sciences, social studies and technologies.
- Each curricular area contains a series of experiences and outcomes which describe children's learning and achievements from a pupil perspective.
