At Ysgol Emrys ap Iwan, all of the teaching staff have been working hard to develop a curriculum that is tailored to the needs and aspirations of our community whilst enabling our learners to be ambitious and creative, to make ethical and healthy decisions and to be effective citizens of Wales.

We have been working closely with our Primary Schools in the local cluster to ensure that common approaches are adopted in order for there to be a seamless move from Year 6 to 7, not just for well being, but on an academic front as well..

Although we will be starting to deliver aspects of the Curriculum for Wales from September 2022, we will not formally adopt our curriculum until the following year. This will give us the time needed to ensure that our systems that we implement are robust and fit for purpose.

We will soon be holding consultation sessions with learners and parents. Having input from all stakeholders is essential for us to design a curriculum that provides the support and guidance necessary to help our learners develop. Further information regarding these consultations will be shared in due course.

The Welsh Government have provided some short guides to help explain what the Curriculum for Wales will look like:
