I’ve just concluded a survey of curricular models adopted in Scottish schools. Academically robust it isn’t but it does seem to indicate that only about a third of schools are implementing a broad general education into S3 with many schools opting to begin courses leading to National 4 and 5 certification.

You can access the summary below.

Structures Survey summary report

A colleague at Edinburgh University is conducting research into science and mathematics in the nursery and early years (ages 3-8) across Europe as part of a wider project to enhance creativity. It would help us greatly if there were more respondents from Scotland in the next few days.

If you are a nursery or early years practitioner please consider taking a few minutes to complete this survey:

There is an opportunity to be more involved in this project but for now, a few minutes of your time will enrich the findings by adding to the Scottish response. Thank you for your help.
