Curriculum Leadership in North Wales

Come and see how schools are successfully meeting the needs of the Curriculum for Wales

Friday 30 June 2023, Ysgol Friars, Bangor LL57 2LN

As schools across North Wales continue to implement the Curriculum for Wales, this free event will bring together school leaders and practitioners from across the country to share emerging best practice and identify opportunities for further development. This half-day of CPD and networking is free to all schools across all phases of education. The focus will be on holistic approaches to curriculum, pedagogy and support to ensure cognitively challenging, enriching learning experiences for all learners.

The morning will open with case studies from NACE Challenge Award-accredited schools – providing a range of practical approaches to developing high-quality provision for more able and talented (MAT) learners and challenge for all, with applications across all phases. This will be followed by dedicated time for all attendees to share ideas and experiences with peers.
