What do we mean by a whole-school approach?

Curriculum for Wales is driven by the four purposes, which provide the foundation for all learning activities. It requires a holistic approach, where all members of the school community contribute to the development of the individual along the 3-16 continuum.

Key Principles

• All learner experiences in the school should be planned to provide interconnected opportunities to develop the four purposes.

• The needs of all learners are at the heart of decision-making at all levels.

• All members of the school community should share a commitment and responsibility towards the integrated education of the learners.

• Collaboration is necessary to enhance learning and deepen conceptual understanding.
