The Curriculum for Wales guidance aims to help each school develop its own curriculum, enabling their learners to develop towards the four purposes of the curriculum – the starting point and aspiration for every child and young person in Wales.
It enables schools to design their own curriculum and assessment arrangements based on where the children live and what the school feels is important for the children to learn. However, it is fundamentally a skills, not content, based curriculum.
'Nothing is so essential as universal access to, and acquisition of, the experiences, knowledge and skills that our young people need for employment, lifelong learning and active citizenship.'
Our curriculum:

secures broad and balanced learning and teaching for each learner
It will:
