This is an exciting time for the young people of Wales. A new Curriculum for Wales is currently being implemented across Wales that will enthuse learners from 3 to 16, giving them the foundations they need to succeed in a changing world.
Schools will have some flexibility in determining how and when they begin first teaching of the new curriculum. By 2021 all settings and schools will be using the new curriculum to underpin teaching and learning for children and young people aged 3-16.
The New Curriculum for Wales
At Tref Y Rhyg primary, we are starting our journey.
What is the New Curriculum for Wales?
The Curriculum for Wales purpose is to support children to achieve four key purposes.
The Four Purposes
The Four purposes is at the heart of our new curriculum. They will be the starting point for all decisions on the content and experiences developed as part of the curriculum to support our children. These Four Purposes are:
- 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.
What are the key elements of the New Curriculum?
The curriculum will be organised into 6 Areas of Learning and Experience:
- Expressive arts
- Health and well-being
- Humanities (this will include all our faith, values and RE experiences)
- Languages, literacy and communication (including Welsh and modern foreign languages)
- Mathematics and numeracy
- Science and technology (including computer science)
The new curriculum will include:
- 6 Areas of Learning and Experience from 3 to 16
- 3 cross curriculum responsibilities: literacy, numeracy and digital competence
- progression reference points at ages 5, 8, 11, 14 and 16
- achievement outcomes which describe expected achievements at each progression reference point
