All children and young people in Scotland have an entitlement to a curriculum which will support them in developing their values and beliefs and enable them to:

· achieve the highest possible levels of literacy and numeracy and cognitive skills

· develop skills for learning, skills for life and skills for work

· develop knowledge and understanding of society, the world and Scotland's place in it

· experience challenge and success so that they can develop well-informed views and act responsibly.

They should be encouraged to adopt an active and healthy lifestyle and be equipped with the skills needed for planning their future lives and careers.

The period of education from pre-school to the end of S3 has the particular purpose of providing each young person in Scotland with this broad general education.

Please see the Broad General Education Timetable.

S4 History 

S4 National 4/5 History: In this year we completed work on the Scottish topic- The Era of the Great War, before going on to the British topic- The Atlantic Slave Trade 1770-1807. In addition, we plan in future sessions to look at Hitler and Nazi Germany which is the World/European unit. This will give pupils wider choice for the National 4 Added Value Unit, the National 5 Assignment and in the exam itself. 

S4 Modern Studies 

S4 Modern Studies classes will continue to develop their skills by working on National 4/5 Course work: Democracy in Scotland and the United Kingdom; Social Issues in the United Kingdom; and International Issues.
