As part of our planning for the new Curriculum for Wales, we have an exciting new range of themes planned. The four purposes have been the starting point and aspiration for our curriculum design underpinned by integral skills, which are developed within a wide range of learning and teaching. Ultimately, the aim of our school’s curriculum is to support our learners to become:
Learning is organised and planned through the six AOLES (Areas of Learning and Experience) which include Mathematics and numeracy; science and technology; humanities; languages, literacy and communications; health and wellbeing; and expressive arts.
All classes are involved in EPIC Planning (Everyone Planning In Class) where pupils lead their learning through creating ideas which are displayed on the EPIC board in class. This is where learning is directed thanks to our pupils. Our half term overview for each class looks a little different to normal as we are now including some of the EPIC planning questions which have been generated by the pupils. This overview also includes our school value focus for each half term and our Rights Respecting Focus too.
After the success of Challenge week and Creation and Innovation Day we have now planned a ‘Focus Week’ each half term linked to our rich task activities and planning.
