Principles and practice
The curriculum in Roman Catholic schools will build on the openness of Catholic schools to other young people regardless of denominations and faiths.
The principles and practice document is essential reading for teachers as they start working with the experiences and outcomes for religious education in Roman Catholic schools.
This framework of experiences and outcomes, the principles which underpin it and the practice that arises from it maintain continuity with established practice within Roman Catholic schools but develop that practice further in the light of Curriculum for Excellence.
Full understanding of these principles and practice can only be achieved by reading them in conjunction with the Supplementary Guidance This is Our Faith, provided on the Scottish Catholic Education Service website.
