Curriculum For Excellence“Learning in Health and Wellbeing ensures thatchildren and young people develop the knowledgeand understanding, skills, capabilities and attributeswhich they need for mental, emotional, social andphysical wellbeing now and in the future.”Through the various football programmes we offer in Stirling and it’s surrounding areas,we believe that participating in such programmes helps the learner to achieve, or at leastwork towards achieving the Curriculum for Excellence goals through the experienceswe offer.Playing football is not just about running around with a ball, it offers those taking partthe chance to gain numerous life skills and educational values, which the design andimplementation of such programmes had in mind.The programmes have been designed systematically to take in the key stages ofdevelopment, and ties in with the 5 key stages of Curriculum for Excellence.Throughout each section of this information brochure, Curriculum for Excellenceoutcomes have been included to show exactly how we link in, and we hope this makesit easier for you in deciding which programmes to take on with your school. If you haveany further questions regarding the Curriculum for Excellence information then pleasefeel free to contact us.4
