Curriculum for Excellence

Curriculum for Excellence is about bringing life to learning and learning to life in Scotland. It has been introduced to raise standards of learning and teaching and help improve the life chances for all children and young people. Partnership working is central to Curriculum for Excellence and brings schools together with colleges, employers, universities and other learning providers and support agencies to build a flexible system that delivers for all young learners, wherever they are doing their learning.  All those working with children and young people will be responsible for delivering skills in literacy and numeracy – skills that unlock other subjects and are vital in everyday life.

The Scottish Government has produced a series of videos demonstrating the practical application of Curriculum for Excellence to learning and teaching.
