Education

In Angus we are keen to develop our young people from an early age and to support them to make the right decisions as they reach their school leaving age – whether that is staying on at school, moving into college or university, entering work based training or learning in a community or third sector setting. We do this by providing opportunities for young people to experience flexible and enriched learning opportunities and by helping them to prepare fully for the world of work. Employers are a crucial role in supporting education in Angus, providing work experience and placements. Angus Council Education Department have a website which has a wealth of information and can be found at the following link:-

Curriculum for Excellence (CfE)

CfE aims to transform education in Scotland by providing a coherent, more flexible and enriched curriculum from 3 to 18 years

The success of the education system will be judged on the extent to which it contributes to the national indicator on positive and sustained destinations. Skills for Scotland make clear the Scottish Government's desire for all young people to stay in learning after 16. It makes a clear commitment to young people about the routes on offer to education, employment and training (and the support they can expect) and recognises the need to focus on particularly vulnerable groups of young people.
