'Schools should develop an understanding of the conceptual model of the curriculum: this involves engaging and sense-making with materials and literature, and developing or updating their vision.'

'It is critical that as schools and practitioners embark on detailed curriculum design that they understand the key principles, structure and implications of the Curriculum for Wales.'

'Leaders should recognise the importance of developing this understanding across the school, supporting all staff to engage from the earliest stages of the process. Developing deep understanding will take time and should be an ongoing process.'

'A vision for the curriculum sets out what a school’s curriculum is seeking to achieve and its priorities.  It should make sense of the curriculum as a whole, and how it supports learners to develop towards the four purposes.'

'This vision should be co-constructed: commonly owned, understood and used by all to inform the design and realisation of the curriculum.'
