S1 and S2 planning
These examples of planning are designed to assist teachers and school managers in planning work for the 5-14 curriculum.
Thinking about Curriculum for Excellence
Curriculum for Excellence will introduce eight refreshed and re-focused curriculum areas, and make space in the timetable for interdisciplinary projects and studies. Future planning will follow the principles underlying the new Curriculum for Excellence.
Although the current 5-14 curriculum will be with us for the immediate future, you can use the resources on this site with Curriculum for Excellence in mind. Use this short Reflection Guide to help you adapt resources in accordance with some of the principles and purposes of Curriculum for Excellence.
