The Curriculum for Excellence

The Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) is Scotland’s national education framework that aims to provide a broad and flexible learning experience for children and young people. It focuses on developing knowledge, skills, and understanding across various subjects while promoting critical thinking and creativity. The CfE emphasizes active participation in learning and encourages personal and social development. It is designed to prepare students for future challenges, helping them to become responsible citizens, effective contributors, successful learners, and confident individuals. The curriculum spans early years through to secondary education, adapting to the needs and abilities of each learner.
