The Journey to Excellence – 2020AD

The Journey to Excellence is one of the most significant and extensive projects to be undertaken by HMIE in recent years. The five-part trilogy takes early years centres and schools on a journey from ‘good’ to ‘great’. What might Part 6 look like?

The current resource shows how, by using the strategies described under ten dimensions, schools and early years centres can enable all young people to achieve successful outcomes – the outcomes of Curriculum for Excellence. 

The resource focuses on ‘what works’ in improving outcomes for children and young people.  A huge collection of film clips tell the stories of schools which have made significant changes to their practice and transformed the learning and achievements of young people. The resource also includes a wealth of practical tools and resources, for example, movie clips, learning trails, transformational grids, and clips of respected academies and summaries of research.

What might it look like in 10 years time as we approach 2020? What will Curriculum for Excellence have delivered? What’s on your wish list? Will we have dramatically improved learning? How can The Journey to Excellence help us to focus on our core business – Learning in the 21st Century?
