We will, therefore, have acurriculum which we will adapt continuously over time to meet the needs of our pupils.Following the principles of Curriculum for Excellence, achievement of children andyoung people is celebrated in its broadest sense. This means looking beyond formallyassessed learning, to recognise activities like volunteering and participation in arts,sports and community-based programmes.

Curriculum 11Learners Involvement in the Life of the SchoolTaking ResponsibilityWe encourage pupils to take responsibility within the school. This allows them to havea say in aspects of what happens in school and allows them to see that they can makea difference. Some of the ways that we do this are: ECO group – help the school become more environmentally friendly Pupil Council – making decisions about charity events and improvements to theschool. Pupils Voice – Pupil’s input in their own multi agency review process, in a waythat is meaningful for them.Secondary ProvisionSecondary students will be encouraged to accept more responsibility for themselvesand for others and will be supported towards greater independence and decisionmaking in preparation for life beyond school. Senior students will be expected to showgood models of behaviour to others in school.A number of Core Skills permeate the curriculum at post 14 and these will be deliveredthrough courses and units accredited nationally through the Scottish QualificationAuthority (SQA), and other awards carried out locally.The number of units students can achieve will increase in number as partnerships areundertaken with Fraserburgh Academy where students can access the skills ofspecialist subject staff and later at North East College, Fraserburgh on link courses.An essential component of the senior class work will involve increasing opportunitiesto link with specialist staff and peers from within the local network. This work will beexpanded as opportunities develop locally. As well as providing curricular breadth,balance and continuity. This programme is designed to increase self-confidence andexpand experiences beyond the school. This is crucial in nurturing and supportingindependence, decision making and lifelong learning.Work Experience placements can be a crucial part of young people timetables as weaim to support skill development for the world of work.Further EducationNorth East Scotland College, Fraserburgh is in close vicinity to the school and wellestablished links are in place.
