Embedding Curriculum for Excellence

Scotland's Colleges website provides key links to information, resources and professional development opportunities for staff involved in implementing and embedding the principles, experiences and outcomes of Curriculum for Excellence to meet the four capacities of successful learners, effective contributors, responsible citizens and confident individuals.

HNC Early Education and Childcare supports implementation through:

  • providing opportunities for the development of the four capacities in students
  • preparing students to enter employment in early years settings where they will use their skills and knowledge of Curriculum for Excellence to support the development of young children
