Welcome to Our Class

Welcome to our class page! Here you will find everything you need to know about our learning, routines, and expectations. We are excited for the year ahead and look forward to working together to help every child achieve their best. This page will guide you through what we are learning in line with the Curriculum for Wales, our uniform and PE kit requirements, and the homework expectations that will help support learning at home.

Our Curriculum and Class Expectations

In our class, the four purposes of the Curriculum for Wales guide everything we do. Through rich and varied learning experiences, we aim for our pupils to be:

• Ambitious, capable learners who can research, think critically, and are ready to continue learning throughout their lives.
• Enterprising, creative contributors who use their skills and energy to benefit others and play an active role in life and work.
• Ethical, informed citizens who care for the sustainability of our planet and are ready to take their place as citizens of Wales and the wider world.
• Healthy, confident individuals who can manage everyday life independently and lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society.
