Primary PFE in Scotland

The programme in Scotland, as part of the 3-18 Curriculum for Excellence, is cross-cutting and inter-disciplinary, based on the Experiences and Outcomes for each of the eight curricular areas.

Underpinning all programmes within Curriculum for Excellence is the expectation that every teacher is a teacher of Numeracy, Literacy and Health and Well-being.

PFE is generally delivered through Personal and Social Development programmes. However, schools are given a PFE framework to be adapted to local needs - it is up to individual teachers and schools to decide which elements of the framework are applicable to particular age groups and classes.
