Curriculum for Excellence (CforE)
Curriculum for Excellence aims to achieve a transformation in education in Scotland by providing a coherent, more flexible and enriched curriculum from 3 to 18.
The curriculum includes the totality of experiences which are planned for children and young people through their education, wherever they are being educated (SOURCE www.ltscotland.org.uk)
We have included below a few helpful links to various pages regarding Curriculum for Excellence on the www.ltscotland.org.uk website which we hope will prove helpful. These are provided for your information only and Broughton Primary Parent Council cannot be held responsible for any information found in this external site.

Please click the images of the fact files for further information which may prove helpful. Just some of the things included are:-
Will there be suitable qualifications for all learners?
Yes, there are qualifications at all levels. The number, range and level of qualifications a young person takes should be appropriate and individual to him/her. Activities and awards outside of school can also be recognised in profiles of achievement from the school. Visit www.sqa.org.uk or www.scqf.info to see what’s available.
How can Parent Councils help?
Parent Councils have a key role to play in raising standards – a key aim of Curriculum for Excellence. They can support improvement planning at school and can get involved in planning at local authority level too. They can raise issues nationally through their local rep on the National Parent Forum of Scotland. They make important links to families, the local neighbourhood and businesses that help bring life to learning. They offer a vital link to hear what young people think and want. They can invite parents in to share skills, time, expertise and knowledge. The Parent Council can link to local businesses that might offer work experience opportunities or give young people the chance to develop business skills. They can help with fundraising, organise career fairs and be on hand at parent events to talk to other parents.
