Curriculum for Excellence is the name for the education system in Scotland, covering nurseries, schools, colleges and community learning. It covers the whole 'learning journey' from 3 to 18, and in some cases, beyond.

Scotland’s curriculum – Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) – helps our children and young people gain the knowledge, skills and attributes needed for life in the 21st century. A refreshed narrative on Scotland's curriculum, which sets CfE within the current context, was published in September 2019. It is available in both English and in Gaelic.

Curriculum for Excellence is about the best learning and teaching, how progress is assessed, and new qualifications. For an animated guide to Curriculum for Excellence in Falkirk, please click the following link: http://youtu.be/TJod0TZu6oI

The following leaflet has been produced to help parents better understand how their children will benefit from Curriculum for Excellence.

This information has been closely developed with the National Parent Forum of Scotland (NPFS) and will be sent to all parents of school children across Scotland. It covers information on Curriculum for Excellence, the key benefits for young people and examples of the different routes pupils can take throughout their education from age 3-18.
