Mapping the outcomes of the Curriculum for excellence

The activities you take part in as a Link School can help pupils to achieve many of the Experiences and Outcomes defined by Curriculum for Excellence. We have created a map of the Experiences and Outcomes that are directly relevant to the Link Schools experience in the curriculum areas of Religious and Moral Education, Social Studies, Health and Wellbeing, and Technology. The documents demonstrate how LCD supports Link Schools to achieve these aims and includes examples from real Link Schools to inspire you.
