Curriculum for Excellence. The authority and its schools have engaged proactively with Curriculum for Excellence from its inception, and are in the position where some elements, such as Assessment is for Learning, Enterprise, health promotion and citizenship are in the main well-embedded in schools and developments in other areas are in accordance with the national timelines. The main challenges for the authority are as follows:  Ensuring closer interaction between pre-school and primary 1, where the pre- school is not on the same site as the primary school;  Arranging class groupings where the numbers do not justify a separate P1 class, which is the situation in all except 2 schools.  Ensuring that the curriculum offered at the early secondary stage (S1-3) provides equitable provision for all our pupils, which is not possible within current structures.

This is considerably higher than the Scottish Government’s national target of 87%. The demand for education has in the past been met by a significant migration of young people to the major Scottish cities and centres of higher education. Many do not return to their home islands after higher education, and their skills and earning power are thus lost to the local communities. The range of provision offered by Lews Castle College throughout the Outer Hebrides is designed in large part to retain young people, their skills and earni...
