Curriculum for Wales
At Bryncoch Church in Wales Primary School, we are proud to offer a curriculum that is tailored to the needs and aspirations of our children. As a Voluntary Aided School, we work closely with the Diocese of Llandaff and Monmouth to ensure our curriculum aligns with the values and ethos of the Church in Wales.
The Four Core Purposes
Our school's curriculum is designed to help our children develop the four key purposes outlined in the Curriculum for Wales: Ambitious, Capable Learners, Enterprising, Creative Contributors, Ethically, Informed Citizens, and Healthy, Confident Individuals. Through a range of engaging and progressive learning experiences, we aim to nurture these essential skills and qualities in our pupils.

Our Curriculum
Curriculum Structure and Delivery
​
Each half term, our school community collaborates to identify a whole-school Concept, which serves as the focus for teaching and learning across the Areas of Learning and Experience. This approach allows our children to make meaningful connections between different subject areas and develop a deeper, more holistic understanding of the world around them.
To further support our children's learning, we have implemented a "Missions" approach, which encourages independent, self-directed exploration of the curriculum. Through these Missions, our pupils have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in practical, real-world contexts, demonstrating their progress in literacy, numeracy, digital competence, and other integral skills.
​
Assessment for Learning
​
At Bryncoch Church in Wales Primary School, we believe that assessment should be a tool for supporting learner progression. We use a range of Assessment for Learning strategies, such as learning intentions, success criteria, traffic lights, and the "purple pen of progress," to provide our children with clear feedback and guide them towards their next steps in learning.
​
Continuous Improvement
​
We are committed to continuously reviewing and refining our curriculum to ensure it meets the needs of our children and supports their development towards the four purposes. Throughout the academic year, we monitor the impact of our curriculum, and complete a formal review on an annual basis to identify areas for improvement.
As a school community, we are proud of the curriculum we have developed and the opportunities it provides for our children to grow and thrive. We look forward to working in partnership with you to support your child's learning journey.
