An ethos of self evaluation and formative planning is encouraged and pupils are involved in all areas in this process.
Courses
S1 – S3
Through the implementation of Curriculum for Excellence the S1-S3 course aims to continue equipping the pupils with the necessary numeracy skills, financial knowledge and problem solving capability to fully participate in life and learning at school, at home, in the wider community and to build a strong foundation for National Courses.
The course is broken down into units or organisers and taught using a wide range of contexts and interactive activities.
Assessment is through a range of tasks e.g. solving word problems, calculating change or making a presentation on how to tell time.
Pupils will have the opportunity to improve their interpersonal skills, extend their vocabulary and build their confidence as they work with others and take more responsibility for their own learning.
