The broad aims of the curriculum are concerned with the all-round development of children as 'individuals, in all aspects:

intellectual, emotional, social, physical, spiritual, moral.

study three Core Subjects:

In addition, children also receive instruction in the Foundation Subjects:

Welsh, History, Geography, Music, Computer Technology,
Art, Design Technology, P.E.

Each core subject has clearly defined objectives, outlining what children should know and be able to do at each stage of schooling. These are termed Attainment Targets.

There are different stages for different age groups. Primary education is concerned with:-

Key Stage 1 - (5 years -7 years approximately)
Key Stage 2 - (7 years - 11 years approximately)

The National Curriculum was introduced into maintained schools in 1990 with the aim of raising educational standards. In 1994 it was reviewed and slimmed down and it will not be changed again before the year 2000.

Copies of the National Curriculum documents for all subjects are available at school, for parents' reference. The documents for the subjects of Welsh, History, Geography, Art and Music are specific to Wales.

The National Curriculum is not the whole of the school's curriculum. Pupils must also study Religious Education and St David's also provides social and personal education, health education and education about safety.
