The whole approach to education and developing young people aged 3 to 16 in Wales is changing.

​

Have a look at the New Curriculum Powerpoint used for an information session for parents on 15.11.18.

​

​

​

​

​

​

The new curriculum will have six ‘Areas of Learning and Experience (AoLEs).

 

1)Expressive arts.

​

2)Health and well-being.

​

3)Humanities (including RE which should remain compulsory to age 16).

​

4)Languages, literacy and communication (including Welsh, which should remain compulsory to age 16, and modern foreign languages).

​

5)Mathematics and numeracy.

​

6)Science and technology.

​

​

A new parent website has been created to explain the changes in Education in Wales. It features a scene-setting video, the curriculum animation and a link to the White Paper Consultation on the new curriculum.
