At Baden Powell Primary, our curriculum is based on the
Foundation Phase Framework for children’s learning
for 3 to 7 years old in Wales.

The seven Areas of Learning are:
 Personal and Social Development, Well- Being
and Cultural Diversity.

 Language, Literacy and Communication Skills.
 Mathematical Development.
 Welsh Language Development.
 Knowledge and Understanding of the World.
 Physical Development.
 Creative Development.

Teachers are increasingly working in teams which are
responsible for different curriculum areas in line with the development of ‘Successful
Futures’, the new curriculum for Wales. They regularly monitor, evaluate and review
standards in their subject areas. Teachers within a year group plan and evaluate

together in order to ensure consistency in approach.

Across the school, most subjects are taught in a cross-curricular thematic way so that
children may develop and apply their skills in meaningful contexts.

CORE SUBJECTS

The core subjects of the curriculum, in which children are assessed at Key Stage 2 are
English, Mathematics, Science and Welsh.

ENGLISH

The curriculum for English covers the following areas: oracy, reading and writing.

Within writing children are taught grammar and punctuation, spelling and handwriting.
We have a broad programme of work for each of these areas which draw upon a variety
of published schemes and activities devised by teachers.
