The Curriculum for Wales framework guidance has been updated.
The January 2024 updates include:
- a new ‘Continuing the journey’ section to replace the ‘Journey to roll-out’ now that implementation is underway in all schools. It provides more concise and focussed expectations to support schools (including PRUs and those responsible for EOTAS in other settings) with the practical steps of designing, implementing and ongoing review of their curriculum. It has been developed by practitioners, informed by public consultation, and represents one of the first outputs from practitioners in the new National Network Policy Group
- corrections to issues with definitions and hyperlinks
- minor updates throughout following feedback to ensure correct and consistent terminology
The ‘last updated’ date at the bottom of each page will reveal whether a change has been made.
There will be a further addition to the Curriculum for Wales framework guidance in the summer to provide further support to schools developing their curriculum and qualifications offer for learners in years 10 and 11. The draft 14-16 Learning guidance section will be out for consultation shortly, so watch this space.
Future updates to the Curriculum for Wales framework guidance will be made each January, so practitioners can be sure that it they are completely up to date all year. January has been chosen to best fit with curriculum planning cycles in schools and settings.
