Curriculum for Excellence

Home > Services > Education and learning > Information for parents

Curriculum for Excellence has been introduced to raise standards of learning and teaching for all 3 to 18 year olds. It aims to help prepare children and young people with the knowledge and skills they need in a fast changing world. Schools and nurseries in Renfrewshire are working towards the full implementation of the Curriculum for Excellence which has replaced the 5-14 curriculum and the Curriculum Framework for Children 3 to 5. A key aim of Curriculum for Excellence is for every child to experience a broad general education from the early years until the end of S3.

The Parentzone area on the Learning and Teaching Scotland website has some very useful 'factfiles' on a variety of topics:

• Assessment and qualifications
• Background and benefits
• Health and wellbeing
• Parents as partners
• Supporting learners
• The secondary experience
