The Health and Wellbeing Area of Learning and Experience (AoLE) aims to equip pupils with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to lead healthy, safe, and fulfilling lives. It recognises the importance of a balanced approach to education, where physical, emotional, and social wellbeing are given equal importance to academic success. Through this AoLE, pupils are prepared not only to thrive in their personal lives but also to contribute positively to their communities and society at large.
The Health and Wellbeing (AoLE) in Wales aims to foster holistic development in pupils by addressing physical, emotional, and social aspects of wellbeing.
It promotes regular physical activity, healthy lifestyle choices, and knowledge of nutrition and personal hygiene to enhance physical health.
Emotionally, the AoLE supports pupils in understanding and managing their emotions, building resilience, and fostering empathy.
Socially, it focuses on developing effective communication skills, nurturing positive relationships, and addressing issues like bullying and conflict resolution.
Additionally, the AoLE educates pupils on safety in various environments, responsible use of technology, and the consequences of risky behaviours. It encourages active citizenship by teaching about rights and responsibilities, promoting community involvement, and fostering participation in democratic processes.
Through these objectives, the Health and Wellbeing AoLE aims to equip pupils with essential life skills to lead healthy, safe, and fulfilling lives.
