Some Guidance on ProgressionProgress and
Proposals/Building the Curriculum

• Pupils will progress at different rates.
• The framework should support
• both lateral (broadening and enriching)
  progression
• vertical (becoming more challenging) progression.
  
• This means enhancing experiences within levels as
  well as providing for progression to the next
  level.
• For most young people, the move into
  qualifications will take place in S4 and beyond.
