Our Curriculum

The Curriculum for Wales provides guidance to help our school develop its own curriculum, enabling our 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:

• ambitious, capable learners
• healthy, confident individuals
• enterprising, creative contributors
• ethical, informed citizens

Our curriculum will be broad and balanced, suitable for learners of differing ages, abilities and aptitudes and include learning opportunities within and across the 6 Areas of Learning and Experience, with content drawn from the statements of what matters and informed by the national principles of progression. The 6 Areas of Learning are:

• Language, Literacy and Communication
• Mathematics and Numeracy
• Expressive Arts
• Health and Well-being
• Humanities
• Science and Technology

Our curriculum also aligns to the mandatory requirements of teaching Welsh, English, Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE), Religion, Values and Ethics (RVE), and the cross curricula skills of literacy, numeracy and digital competence.
