Welcome

Our Curriculum Vision

As a federation of Schools, we share a common whole school vision for teaching and learning.  This vision is:

 

To be an inclusive, child-centered school, at the heart of our community, that develops independent, resilient learners. We aim to be a school that celebrates individuality and encourages every child to reach their potential. Learners will receive an inspiring, rich and engaging education, provided through authentic experiences, which allows them to flourish. We aim to promote the importance of being a global citizen and encourage a love for learning, allowing all children to succeed in their everyday lives.

 

In addition to our whole school vision, we have worked as a School Community to establish individual visions for each area of the new curriculum. The new curriculum is split into 6 key areas (known as ‘Areas of learning and Experience’ or AoLE) which are:

 

  • Health and Wellbeing - Within the Taff Bargoed Learning Partnership, our learners will be provided with learning experiences, through high quality teaching, that will enable them to become healthy, resilient and independent individuals, able to achieve their full potential. Learners will understand the physical and mental benefits of a healthy lifestyle, and engage in regular opportunities to promote their emotional and physical wellbeing. Learners will develop skills that allow them to be active members of society; taking an interest in their respective communities. Through various authentic experiences, learners will appreciate the importance of being a global citizen and will apply this to their everyday lives. 
  • Expressive Arts - Within the Taff Bargoed Learning Partnership, our learners will be provided with learning experiences, through high quality teaching, that will enable them to nurture their individuality to achieve their potential, showcasing their personalities and talents.
