Curriculum Summary

 

In order to implement the Curriculum of Wales effectively we have engaged with all stakeholders including learners though pupil voice, practitioners through continuous professional development, parents and governors.

 

Our curriculum is broad and balanced and so suitable for learners of differing ages, abilities and aptitudes. It includes learning opportunities within and across the six Areas of Learning and Experience (AoLE), with content drawn from the Statement of What Matters.

 

We have ensured our curriculum aligns to the mandatory requirements of teaching Welsh, English, Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) and the cross curricular skills of literacy, numeracy and digital competence. We are developing our Religion, Values and Ethics curriculum following the recent publication of the agreed syllabus.
