The Senior Phase
Why CfE?
• Too many young people in MCMC category
• CfE better reflects the need for workers in the
'knowledge economy'
• CfE better reflects what Educationalists have been
preaching
• Recognition that education doesn't end at the school
gate

Learning Community inspections
New school qualifications
16+ Learning Choices
Learning community inspections
HMIs from Education Scotland carry out the Learning
Community inspections.
They:
• interview staff from community and voluntary groups
• attend workshops
• speak with participants
• evaluate the effectiveness of the learning
• produce a report to support improvement
New school qualifications
Changes to the qualification structure in schools, as of 2013/14:
• New qualifications, called National 4 and National 5, will replace
Standard Grades and Intermediates
• The new qualifications are presently under development by SQA
• Learners will sit the new qualifications when they are deemed
ready to do so
• Revision of existing qualifications at Access, Higher and
Advanced Higher to ensure they are consistent with CfE
developments
16+ Learning Choices
16+ Learning Choices is a guaranteed offer of a place in
post-16 learning for every eligible young person who
wants it.
16+ LC is for all partners – across a broad range of
settings – who are involved in planning for and
delivering the Senior Phase of CfE, including those
involved in young people’s post-16 transitions to further
learning, training and employment.

As I explore the rights to which I and
others are entitled, I am able to exercise
these rights appropriately and accept the
responsibilities that go with them. I show
respect for the rights of others.

Produced when a young person is in P7 and S3 – the key
transition points.
Discussion points
Should youth groups record Es and Os? If
so, how? If not, why not?
Should they record Es and Os if their project
doesn’t include a school link?
Previous answers include...
· strengthen and improve their own youth work practice
· help set clearer outcomes and improve evaluation
practice
· better describe the value of the work they deliver to young
people, partners, stakeholders and funders
· build up robust and relevant evidence that accurately
describes the impact of their work
· develop more effective partnerships with other youth work
/ learning providers

Partnership working
"Curriculum for Excellence can best be delivered
through partnership working.
All establishments should work with partners and
share a common understanding and language to
fund skills development and application. Together,
they should plan and deliver learning and other
experiences which meet the needs of individual
children and young people."
* Building the Curriculum 4

well as my own attitudes and values can influence how I feel
about substance use and recognise the impact this may have
on my actions.
