Curriculum

At Oystermouth Primary School, we are committed to providing a broad and balanced education that meets the needs of all our pupils. Our curriculum is designed to inspire a lifelong love of learning and to foster independent, confident, and thoughtful individuals.

The Curriculum for Wales

Our school curriculum adheres to the Curriculum for Wales framework, ensuring that every learner develops towards the four purposes, preparing them for the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences of later life. These four purposes aim to support our pupils to become:

• Ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives
• Enterprising, creative contributors, open to new ideas and experiences
• Ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world
• Healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society.

The curriculum is organised into six Areas of Learning and Experience (AoLEs), each interlinked to provide a wide range of educational opportunities:

1. Expressive Arts – Encouraging creativity and cultural appreciation through art, drama, music, dance, and film.
2. Health and Well-being – Promoting physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being.
3. Humanities – Enriching understanding of geography, history, religion, values and ethics, business studies, and social studies.
4. Languages, Literacy, and Communication – Developing skills in reading, writing, oracy, and digital media, underpinned by both Welsh and English languages.
5. Mathematics and Numeracy – Building a strong foundation in numerical reasoning and problem-solving skills.
6. Science and Technology – Inspiring curiosity and analytical skills through scientific and technological exploration.

At Oystermouth Primary, we personalise learning to reflect the unique community and environment of our school, ensuring that it is meaningful and relevant. We encourage our pupils to engage with the real world, contributing both locally and globally. Our teachers integrate digital competence throughout all areas of learning, preparing our students for the digital world.

Our curriculum fosters inclusive education, ensuring that all pupils have the support, challenge, and opportunities they need to thrive. We believe in equipping our pupils with the skills and values they will need to become successful, responsible citizens.
