Four Core Purposes and Key Elements

Four Core Purposes

The four core purposes of the curriculum should underpin all teaching and learning in Wales.

The four core purposes are:

• Ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives.
• Enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work.
• Ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world.
• Healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society.

Key Elements

The new curriculum will include:

• 6 Areas of Learning and Experience from 3 to 16
• 3 cross curriculum responsibilities: literacy, numeracy and digital competence
• progression reference points at ages 5, 8, 11, 14 and 16
• achievement outcomes which describe expected achievements at each progression reference point.

Ysgol Padarn Sant are looking forward to the new developments during 2020-21!
