Education Scotland has today published a new framework, alongside Screen Scotland, to support the national rollout of the 3-18 film and screen curriculum.

This framework aims to help clarify the knowledge, skills and benchmarks for children and young people learning about film and screen from early to fourth level.

This follows the successful pilot of the draft film and screen curriculum from 2022 and will inform the ongoing work of the Curriculum Improvement Cycle.

Neil Millar, Senior Education Officer at Education Scotland, said: “Over the last three years I have been proud to work with, and support, the inspiring work that has been undertaken in creating and facilitating the draft Film and Screen Curriculum across Scotland.  From the outset, the educational and social impact of the pilot Film and Screen curriculum on schools, teachers and most importantly pupils, has been immense. The proof of this is in the curriculum work developed and showcased by the children and young people themselves.”

Further information is available from Screen Scotland including a press release.
