Government Curriculum

Looking into the curriculum for years 2014-2015 to see how creative subjects are catered for.  It is still down to the teacher to come up with lesson plans but it is not their decision which subjects get more attention.  There is still a strong focus on literacy and numeracy which I don't believe is wrong but there is not much said in the curriculum guidelines at all about creativity or creative subjects.

If this is the case, I intend to promote teachers to teach their maths, english, history, p.e lessons in a a more fun and creative way.  In the early years I believe this happens more than later in primary school and secondary school.

In Scotland in 2010-11, the Curriculum for Excellence was introduced.  

The Curriculum wishes its pupils to become 'successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors.'

The curriculum gives teachers more flexibility with how and what they teach

It also allows for children who are progressing quicker than others to move onto the next level of study before other classmates 

'Scotland's curriculum for 3-18 is designed to provide young people with the knowledge, skills and attributes they need for learning, life and work in the 21st century.' [http://www.educationscotland.gov.uk/thecurriculum/]
