Curriculum design is an ongoing process of continuing improvement.  At Old Road Primary School, we recognise that we have both mandatory and statutory duties.  

The Curriculum and Assessment (Wales) Act 2021 puts mandatory duties on schools - things they are legally required to do.  Schools must also have ‘due regard’ to statutory guidance when carrying out their duties.

The headteacher and the Governing Body has jointly adopted our curriculum and assessment arrangements through ratification of policy and practice.   It is continually kept under review through the school's self evaluation processes. 

Practitioners, learners, parents, carers and the wider community are consulted with regularly.  Curriculum design is constantly reviewed in light of feedback from these stakeholder. eg  Questionnaires, Pupil Voice Groups, etc.
