Welcome to MHS Curriculum For Excellence
About Curriculum for Excellence
Parents have told us that they like to receive information about their child’s education from the school. So it is important to keep parents informed about Curriculum for Excellence.
Communicating with parents
The development of a coherent and progressive curriculum which has young people's interests at its centre is a major piece of work and putting Curriculum for Excellence into practice is a continuing process.
What is Curriculum for Excellence?
A brief explanation of Curriculum for Excellence. Scotland is currently pursuing its biggest education reform for a generation. At its heart, Curriculum for Excellence is the programme of work that is reviewing the current curriculum. It aims to provide:
- more freedom for teachers
- greater choice and opportunity for pupils
- a single coherent curriculum for all children and young people aged 3-18.
