Our S1 course follows the Experiences and Outcomes outlined in A Curriculum for Excellence.  Our Main topics include:

• Product Development – delivered through a themed approach ‘Warning May Contain Losses‘
• Events Management – this will involve the setting up and running of an event within the school.
• Entrepreneur Project
• Office 365

We use teacher-led discussion, cooperative group work and many formative assessment strategies to give pupils the opportunity to demonstrate and improve their knowledge, practical skills and skills for learning, life and work.

Evidence of progress and achievement will come from a variety of sources including:

• observing day-to-day learning within the classroom;
• coursework, including regular tests* at the end of each unit of work;
• learning conversations; and
• planned periodic holistic assessment.

*The tests assesses knowledge and understanding as well as problem solving skills.

The tests form the basis for the comments in the pupil report issued to parents.
