Curriculum for Excellence at Ardroy
The Curriculum for Excellence is key to Scottish Education. The holistic nature of the CfE complements excellently Ardroy’s approach to learning through experiences.
As part of this process, we have gone through the CfE and mapped which specific elements of the curriculum can be covered as part of the Ardroy Experience. Most of what we offer fits into Health and Wellbeing, but connections can also be found in Religious and Moral Education, Social Studies and Mathematics amongst others.
In order to enable teachers to identify where Ardroy can contribute to a school’s curricular planning, we have created a table which highlights specific outcomes from the CfE, per activity. For example, we would consider Rock Climbing to apply as follows:
Health and Well Being Outcome 2-21a
As I encounter new challenges and contexts for learning, I am encouraged and supported to demonstrate my ability to select, adapt and apply movement skills and strategies, creatively, accurately and with control.
Countdown Pack B has been altered. It has help text for every activity chosen, which highlights what we think to be the most significant outcome. Download a copy from the school downloads page here.
To find out more, please follow the links below which open up PDF’s which will hopefully be self explanatory. We have also identified how wider aspects of the Ardroy Experience fit into Experiences and Outcomes Common to all Themes and Courses.
Please Note: If you wish us to focus on specific outcomes it is best to inform us of this at an early stage, so we are able to tailor the delivery to your requirements.
NEW: Following feedback from some teachers, we have now merged all four documents into one single version, without the fancy pop ups in the pdf version. It is 9 pages long, but if you like your information all laid out in black and white on good old fashioned paper, then this is the one for you! Download it from the list below.
