Wales Curriculum Alignment
Forward Education's classroom kits are aligned to the Curriculum for Wales. Alignments cover the Science and Technology Area of Learning and Experience, including its Computation and Design and Technology strands, alongside Mathematics and Numeracy and Languages, Literacy and Communication. Every alignment was checked against the published Descriptions of Learning at each Progression Step, so teachers in Cardiff, Swansea and every school across Wales can see exactly where each lesson supports their curriculum design.
How we count: Each percentage reflects how many individual standards are addressed by at least one lesson, project, or tutorial within that product. Because many of our activities are interdisciplinary, multiple lessons may align to the same standard, so your students will often have more than one opportunity to practice each expectation throughout the kit.
