Areas of Learning (AoLes)

The New Curriculum

At the centre of this new curriculum are three main skills areas:

Literacy;
Numeracy;
Digital Competence.

These skills will be embedded across new curriculum areas to ensure that young people in Wales possess the required skills to succeed in their future. Along with these three skills areas come new areas of learning, which are reflected in our school curriculum. They are:

• Mathematics & Numeracy;
• English & Communication;
• Science & Technology;
• Languages;
• Health & Wellbeing;
• Digital Technology and Computer Science;
• Welsh Baccalaureate;
• Humanities;
• Expressive Arts.
