Expected Levels of Progression Curriculum for Excellence defines five levels of learning.  Early The pre-school years and P1, or later for some.  First To the end of P4, but earlier or later for some.  Second To the end of P7, but earlier or later for some  Third and Fourth S1 to S3, but earlier for some. The fourth level broadly equates to Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework level 4. The fourth level experiences and outcomes are intended to provide possibilities for choice and young people's programmes will not include all of the fourth level outcomes.  Senior phase S4 to S6, and college or other means of study.

Junior Phase S1-S3 is designed to provide a broad, general education, but there will be scope for choices including increasing specialisation during that time, ensuring learners have the right level of challenge and support. This will provide a strong basis for moving on to the learning for qualifications

Our aim in the S1 Curriculum The aim of the S1 Curriculum is to give every pupil an equal opportunity to discover her or his strengths, to provide opportunities for personal development, to be fully immersed in the ethos and life of the school There will be a focus of improving pupils’ knowledge, and developing skills in literacy, numeracy & health and wellbeing.

The S1 Journey Languages - English & French Mathematics Expressive arts – Art & Design, Drama and Music Health and wellbeing - Physical Education & Personal & Social Education Technologies – Technical, Health and Food Technology & Business and Computing Sciences – Elements of Biology, Chemistry and Physics Social studies Religious and moral education Interdisciplinary studies Loch Eil Rapid Response Personal Achievement Development of the four capacities 1. Successful learners, 2. Confident individuals, 3. Effective contributors 4. Responsible citizens.

Principles of the Curriculum  Challenge and enjoyment  Breadth  Progression  Depth  Personalisation and choice  Coherence  Relevance.
