Our Curriculum & AoLEs

Our Curriculum Vision

Please find a link to view our school's Curriculum Summary. 

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.
