A New Curriculum has arrived in Wales.

The Four Purposes

The Curriculum has been designed to enable children to become:
  • Ambitious, Capable Learners
  • Enterprising, Creative Contributors
  • Healthy, Confident Individuals
  • Ethical, Informed Citizens

What does this mean for my child?

The New Curriculum will have more emphasis for equipping young people for life. It will build their ability to learn new skills and apply their subject knowledge more positively and creatively. 
Teachers will have more freedom to teach in ways they feel will have the best outcomes for their learners. Pupils will be more involved in the planning process, making suggestions for possible activities and letting teachers know what they want to learn.
