Curriculum Rationale Development/ Leasachadh Churraicealam

This Curriculum Rationale explains everything that we want for the children of Glenurquhart Primary School and how we plan to achieve this. This has been developed by our whole school community, involving children, parents, staff and partners to understand what we are hoping to achieve. This informs our improvement targets and is developed around shared values and aims. The values and principles are based on enabling all our children to become: The Curriculum for Excellence recognises the need for children to access a broader range of achievements, as well as striving for high attainment. Children will learn through the four contexts of learning which include: The eight curricular areas above Interdisciplinary learning – making connections across subjects or between subjects through a theme, context, challenge. Opportunities for Personal Achievement Ethos and Life of the School and Community Within these the cross-cutting themes of sustainability, enterprise, creativity and citizenship, including global citizenship and Scottish heritage and culture are used to provide rich contexts for learning.

In line with all Scottish primary schools, the school curriculum is split into eight main areas which are – Languages Mathematics Social Studies Expressive Arts Religious and Moral Education Health and Well Being Technologies Our Curriculum as detailed in this document is built around the seven principles of curricular design: Breadth Challenge and enjoyment Coherence Depth Personalisation and choice Progression Relevance Through delivery of the above curricular areas pupils will develop a range of skills for learning, life and work. Pupils will constantly reflect on this skills development as part of their on-going reflection about learning. See our skills poster on the page 22.

Our Vision, Values and Aims/ Leirsinn, Luachan & Amasan

Our vision, values and aims were developed with the children, parents, staff and community in session 2016-17.

OUR AIMS: Provide a safe, nurturing, bright and happy learning environment. Provide an engaging, challenging and creative curriculum enabling all children to develop the skills they need to become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors. Aiming for excellence through setting high expectations for attainment, achievement, behaviour, attendance and punctuality. Develop relationships with children, parents, partners and the community to provide opportunities for all learners to achieve with a focus on inclusion and equality. CHILDREN’S AIMS – WE WOULD LIKE TO: Learn the skills we need to help us know what we’d like to do when we are older and be able to achieve all that we wish for. Work outside, learning in and about our environment and community, being fit and healthy. Enjoy giving ‘fun hundred per cent’ to our learning. Have classrooms which are bright and comfortable. Have our work and achievements displayed so that we can be proud of it. Feel included, supported, confident and listened to. Have good friends with everyone showing our school values.

What makes us unique?/ Dè tha sònraichte mu ar deidhinn?

Our Curriculum is built around Community and Care (relationships.) The children, families and staff feel our school is unique/special in the following ways:

We are on the shores of Loch Ness, have Craigmonie forest right next to us, Mary’s Rock above us and a great country setting which we enjoy spending time in.

We are a bi-ligual school with English and Gaelic classes.

The staff know us well, support us to learn and are caring, kind, positive and committed. Some staff have worked with us for several years and/or live in our school community.

We are in the heart of the community where everyone is involved and works closely together. A wide range of volunteers support in the

school and we have generations of families moving through their school journey with us.

We have strong links with the nursery and High School so children have great transition experiences. We have good inter-generational working and good links with the Care Centre.

We have a great outside playground, with loose parts play, a wide range of play equipment, gardening and curricular areas and we love this. In doing so, we are given responsibility and are learning to risk assess our own activities.

Our school is friendly and happy.

Children make their own good decisions.

We have fun.

We promote opportunities to achieve both in and out of school and celebrate these widely.

Overarching Rights for each Curricular Area:

While all the Rights of the Child apply equally in all areas, overarching ones are identified throughout: Article 28 (right to education) Every child has the right to an education. Primary education must be free and different forms of secondary education must be available to every child. Discipline in schools must respect children’s dignity and their rights. Richer countries must help poorer countries achieve this. Article 29 (goals of education) Education must develop every child’s personality, talents and abilities to the full. It must encourage the child’s respect for human rights, as well as respect for their parents, their own and other cultures, and the environment. Article 23 (children with a disability) A child with a disability has the right to live a full and decent life with dignity and, as far as possible, independence and to play an active part in the community. Governments must do all they can to support disabled children and their families. Article 17 (access to information from the media) Every child has the right to reliable information from a variety of sources, and governments should encourage the media to provide information that children can understand. Governments must help protect children from materials that could harm them.
