Curriculum for Excellence
At St John’s RC Academy we are developing and improving our curriculum continuously. Many of our most recent improvements have been developed in line with Scotland’s national curriculum called ‘Curriculum for Excellence’ (CfE). A chart outling your child’s ‘learner journey’ through school and beyond is available from the National Parent Forum of Scotland – click here.
In the ‘Curriculum News’ section of this website, you will find information on CfE generally, specific information on the new qualifications, and an outline of some of the major changes already taking place in St John’s RC Academy.
