Customer Feedback Thanks to everyone who completed our online survey at the end of last term. When you embark on asking people for their views you've got to be prepared to take the odd knock on the chin as well as, hopefully, some good news.

Modern UK Politics and A Curriculum for Excellence

A Curriculum for Excellence (ACfE) is the Scottish Government's key initiative to improve education in Scotland.

It seeks to improve not just attainment in National Qualifications, but wider skills and capacities in young people for participation in a global society.

These are;

  • Developing successful learners
  • Developing confident individuals
  • Developing responsible citizens
  • Developing effective contributors

Her Majesty's Inspectorate for Education (HMIe) has published an important document on what ACfE means for Modern Studies.

Likewise, Learning Teaching Scotland (LTS) has a website dedicated to good practice in developing A Curriculum for Excellence.
