A summary of the new curriculum model

Before embarking on curriculum design, schools need to have a clear understanding of the new Curriculum for Wales guidance. Some schools may choose to create a condensed one-page version which summarises the content of the guidance. This is a useful exercise in itself and can then be shared with staff and other stakeholders.

The visual on the left is one such example which summarises the interconnected nature of the key content of the Curriculum for Wales guidance. This is important for the holistic approach required by the Curriculum for Wales and because the overarching guidance provides key principles which apply to all six Areas of Learning and Experience.
