School software for Curriculum for Excellence (CfE, Scottish curriculum, SQA, Qualifications Scotland) schools
Choose Curriculum for Excellence when you create your school, and Onflows sets up Nursery to S6, 4 terms (Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer), the National 5, Higher, Advanced Higher years and the board's grading before you type anything.
Curriculum for Excellence (Scotland)
We have not yet checked this setup against the board's own published scheme. It is a sensible default: check the grading and subjects in your first week and change what does not match.

Grading, the way Curriculum for Excellence grades
The academic year runs August to June. Each stage gets its own scale, and marks entered once become the gradebook, the progress card and the parent's screen.
| Stage | Scale | Grades | Pass mark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early Level | Primary attainment descriptorsA default to check | GDS, EXS, WTS | |
| First Level | Primary attainment descriptorsA default to check | GDS, EXS, WTS | |
| Second Level | Primary attainment descriptorsA default to check | GDS, EXS, WTS | |
| Broad General Education | Primary attainment descriptorsA default to check | GDS, EXS, WTS | |
| Senior Phase | Scottish A-D | A, B, C, D, NA | 50% |
The year's assessments, already planned
These arrive with their weights, so the term result adds up without a spreadsheet beside it. This plan is a common pattern rather than the board's prescribed one; change it to match yours.
| Term | Assessment | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Autumn Term | Classwork | 25% |
| Winter Term | Prelim Examination | 25% |
| Spring Term | Classwork | 25% |
| Summer Term | End of Year Assessment | 25% |
Subjects at every stage
