Curriculum
​for Wales

Easy Read Document

Curriculum for Wales

The new Curriculum for Wales has been implemented from September 2022!  The world is changing.  There are lots of new challenges that will need new technology and new ideas. So, the curriculum in Wales is changing to ensure that learners have the knowledge, skills and experiences they need to succeed in the future.

The new curriculum will have more emphasis on equipping young people for life.  It is a journey – it will build their ability to learn new skills and apply their subject knowledge more positively and creatively with real life meaning and experiences.  Teachers will have more freedom to teach in ways they feel will have the best outcomes for their learners.  They will also get a deep understanding of how to thrive in an increasingly digital world, preparing them for opportunities and risks that an online world presents.
​
Assessment will be built into the curriculum and will be part of everyday learning experiences.  The main focus of assessment will be to ensure that learners understand where they are in their learning and what steps to take to move forward.
