Curriculum
The Curriculum for Wales guidance aims to help each school develop its own curriculum, enabling their learners to develop towards the four purposes of the curriculum – the starting point and aspiration for every child and young person in Wales. The four purposes are the starting point and aspiration for our schools’ curriculum design. Ultimately, the aim of our school’s curriculum is to support its learners to become:
- ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives
- enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work
- ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world
- healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society
Staff will plan engaging and exciting learning opportunities and experiences within six Areas of Learning and Experience of the curriculum:
- Mathematics and numeracy
- Languages, literacy and communication
- Health and well-being
- Science and technology
- Expressive arts
- Humanities
Cross-curricular skills are developed to ensure progression of skills for all learners. Staff will plan opportunities for learners to develop and apply their skills of:
- Literacy
- Numeracy
- Digital Competence
across all Areas of Learning and Experience.
Our curriculum is delivered through a topic-based approach, linked to identified texts, which enables learners to develop their skills across all Areas of Learning and Experience, and apply their literacy, numeracy and digital competence skills.
