The Curriculum for Excellence Implementation Plan

The Curriculum for Excellence Implementation Plan for 2014-15 sets out the objectives that need to be achieved, the activities at local level that will be required to achieve these objectives and the national support that will be available.

It is relevant to all those involved in promoting effective learning for children and young people from 3 to 18. The aim of publishing the Implementation Plan 2014-15 is to ensure that further support is provided in the areas which feedback suggests will be of most benefit.

Progress Report The progress report provides a summary of progress made on the activities outlined previously in the Implementation Plan 2013-14 up to the end of January. It focuses on national activity and shows the significant amount of work that has been undertaken nationally this year and the extent of the progress that has been made.
