Areas of Learning

“There are seven areas of learning that form the Foundation Phase curriculum. Emphasis has been placed on developing children’s knowledge, skills and understanding through experiential learning, - learning by doing and by solving real life problems both inside and outdoors.

The seven areas of learning are:

  • Personal and Social Development, Well-Being and Cultural Diversity 
  • Knowledge and Understanding of the World 
  • Mathematical Development 
  • Language, Literacy and Communication Skills 
  • Welsh Language Development 
  • Physical Development 
  • Creative Development. “
