Meeting learning needs

Picture of two girls reading a book.

An inclusive curriculum which is based on shared values and planned around the purposes and principles of Curriculum for Excellence offers great scope for flexibility and imaginative, creative approaches to learning.

All practitioners have a responsibility to provide effective learning activities which give learners choices around tasks and activities and create active learning opportunities in a challenging and supportive climate.

Through designing appropriate learning experiences across the curriculum in every context and setting, barriers are addressed and all children and young people can access learning to enable them to achieve at the highest level of which they are capable. This is especially applicable to planning for children and young people who may need additional support of some kind on their learning journey.

It can also include supporting the progress of the most able through enrichment of learning through exploration of different contexts within a level.
