  3. Our Curriculum – How was it designed? • Considered the importance of the progressive development of Core Skills in Literacy & English, Numeracy & Mathematics, Health & Wellbeing • Considered the demographic of the East Craigs context • Considered what topics work well at particular stages • We created a rationale for our new curriculum • A Curricular Framework for Inter-disciplinary learning (IDL) which ensures breadth, depth, progression, personalisation and choice, challenge and enjoyment, coherence, relevance • Discrete progressions for:- Literacy & English, Numeracy & Mathematics, Health & Wellbeing (includes Physical Education), Music, Science & 1+2 Modern Languages (N-P7 French, P5-7 German)

  4. Our Curricular Framework for Your Child’s Stage • Ensures appropriate coverage of Curriculum for Excellence Experiences & Outcomes • Allows opportunities for linear learning e.g. whole-school topics New Beginnings, Equalities, Financial Education, World of Work and Community Learning Teams • Allows for teachers’ response to external context e.g. Global events, pupils’ interests • More general topic headings e.g. Ancient Civilisations rather than “The Romans” • The curriculum is equitable but not uniform
