Curriculum Rationale
Macduff Primary School is a ‘learning community’ – a place where children, families, professionals and community can learn together. Children in Macduff Primary help to shape the curricular experiences they have within a broad general education. The 7 principles of curriculum design underpin our planning. We ensure that our children are provided with a nurturing experience whilst with us which will enable them to make the most of their learning opportunities. We encourage children to have a positive attitude towards their learning through providing engaging experiences both indoor and outdoor, and out in the wider world. We aim for our children to become; successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors.
