At Ysgol Afon Wen, we are dedicated to preparing our pupils not only for academic success but also for life beyond the classroom. Our Careers and Work-Related Experiences (CWRE) programme is a vital part of this commitment, designed to equip every pupil with the knowledge, skills, and aspirations needed to make confident, informed decisions about their futures.
CWRE at Ysgol Afon Wen is fully integrated within the Curriculum for Wales and reflects our school vision and values. Through our Triple-A Promise—activating learning, advancing curiosity, and achieving success—we nurture pupils to become:
Ambitious, capable learners who understand how their education connects to real-world careers and opportunities.
Enterprising, creative contributors who explore their interests and apply skills in practical, meaningful ways.
Ethical, informed citizens who appreciate the role of work in society and its impact on both local and global communities.
Healthy, confident individuals empowered to make future choices with self-awareness and resilience.
Reflecting Our Core Values
Our careers provision is underpinned by our five core values:
Happy: We create a positive, encouraging environment where pupils feel supported to explore their futures.
Healthy: We promote wellbeing and confidence as essential components for career success.
Ready: We prepare pupils with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in further education, training, or employment.
Respectful: We foster respect for diverse career paths and the contributions of all members of society.
Responsible: We encourage pupils to take ownership of their learning and future choices.
At Ysgol Afon Wen, careers education is more than just preparing pupils for jobs; it is about inspiring ambition, creativity, ethics, and confidence in every pupil. Through our CWRE programme, aligned with our vision and values, we empower pupils to navigate their futures with clarity and enthusiasm. Together, we ensure that every pupil is ready to shine—now and in the years ahead.
