CLJ and Scotland: Fife Primary Schools Cluster leading the way for Scotland

England, Wales and now Scotland! We are absolutely delighted to announce that from an initial telephone call to the CLJ we are now working very hard with an excellent primary school cluster based in Fife to develop the Creative Learning Journey for all Scottish primary schools. Working within the ‘Curriculum for Excellence’ guidelines, this exciting new resource will include all areas of learning segmented into outcomes with appropriate skills along with the capacities statements. The resources will be available within the next few months. Resulting in the provision of a 21st century curriculum for 21st century learners with the capacity to enable the issues around personalised learning to be met at all levels.

Meeting the needs of your curriculum

The Creative Learning Journey meets the curriculum for excellence with an innovative purposeful resource designed by teachers for teachers to enable schools to develop an original exciting and creative curriculum to re-ignite children's learning. Now the journey continues with every school facing the new challenge of devising its own individual curriculum. CLJ is meeting that challenge too with on-line resources and printed materials that will help schools to map out their own imaginative curriculum, identify individual skills, plan and assess in detail to deliver a valuable personalised curriculum to meet individual, school and community needs. The Creative Learning Journey focuses on a combination of personal learning skills for children combined with innovative and exciting ways to learn.

CLJ - The months ahead

As the new Scottish curriculum begins to unfold, the CLJ remains committed to supporting schools to deliver a creative curriculum as they create their own curriculum to meet the specific needs of their children. The CLJ provides the framework for every school to create a truly valuable curriculum. The new Curriculum for Excellence, announced last year, has been high on CLJ's list of reviews. CLJ will be producing resources and online tools to meet these new curriculum progressions and has already written most of the programmes to develop the Curriculum for Excellence into a format that all schools can use.

The CLJ offers all schools the chance to keep up to date with all current Government legislation. The opportunity to choose a curriculum designed to meet all criteria at your finger tips. CLJ is the answer for all schools looking for that creative curriculum to keep your school and teachers fully up-to-date with the latest resources and guidelines.

The integrated topic wheels bring the progression outcomes and capacity of learning into the weekly, monthly and half term plans culminating in the pupil assessment. This will give schools the support they need to deliver an exciting, imaginative curriculum allowing them to develop the children's enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge.

The cross curricular links in the curriculum for excellence can be made from the CLJ's topic wheels approach helping children to make connections with their learning.

As CLJ introduces the new curriculum for excellence progression of skills topic wheels, planning and assessment modules over the next three months all schools will benefit from the success of a well and truly tested creative curriculum, designed to engage, motivate and stimulate children and staff in thousands of primary schools throughout Scotland.
