Areas of Learning and Experience
The new inclusive, broad, balanced and challenging curriculum gives schools and practitioners more responsibility for determining what is taught, This responsibility sits within a curriculum that comprises:
- common areas of learning and experience (AoLEs) from ages 3 to 16
- progression reference points at ages 5,8,11,14 and 16
- achievement outcomes which describe expected achievements at each progression reference point
- three cross-curriculum responsibilities - literacy, numeracy and digital competence
The new curriculum sets the parameters for each AoLE. These are:
- Expressive arts
- Health and well-being
- Humanities
- Languages, literacy and communication
- Mathematics and numeracy
- Science and technology
Each AoLE includes, where appropriate, a Welsh dimension as well as an international and UK perspective. Schools are able to use the AoLEs to determine their own curriculum ans how it should be organised.
