Areas of Learning And Experience
Curriculum for Wales 2022 organises learning around six areas of learning and experience which are:
- Expressive Arts
- Health and Well-being
- Humanities
- Languages, Literacy and Communication
- Mathematics and Numeracy
- Science and Technology
Each of the areas of learning and experience has been designed to support learners to realise the four purposes of the curriculum, and provides the starting point and aspiration when developing a school-level curriculum. They encompass existing subjects and disciplines, and are intended to promote collaboration and cross-disciplinary school-level curriculum development and design.
Relationships and Sexuality Education is appropriately and progressively taught using an agreed cluster plan. This is part of the school's health and well-being curriculum.
Our curriculum also incorporates, where appropriate, opportunities for learning and consideration of cross-cutting elements. These allow learners to:
- consider local, national and international contexts
- develop understanding of relationships and sexuality education
- recognise, understand and promote human rights and diversity
- identify with careers and work-related experiences
