From community to curriculum - aligning learning with pupils’ heritage, identity and locality
Staff have worked together successfully to design a broad and stimulating curriculum that celebrates the area’s unique heritage, as well as developing pupils’ understanding of diversity both within Wales and the wider world. This approach helps pupils to develop into principled citizens who are proud of their history, culture and the Welsh language. Learning builds on pupils’ prior knowledge, skills and understanding systematically and there is a strong emphasis on authentic learning experiences. This ensures that nearly all pupils approach their learning with enthusiasm and develop their knowledge and understanding successfully.
