Our Camau i’r Dyfodol research project hosted a symposium showcasing the innovative work of schools across Wales in realising Curriculum for Wales. The focus was on how teachers from primary, secondary, & ALN schools & settings have been working with CfW as a purpose-led process-oriented curriculum.

US republicans are purposely immobilising government agencies and public institutions to then "show" that they don't work. These institutions are vital, but of course can't function well with a lack of resources. I really hope Scotland and the wider UK recognises this re NHS, higher education etc.

Lovely day spent in Swansea, Wales working with teachers on the Camau i'r Dyfodol project. Hard work is underway by the teachers preparing for our upcoming project symposium.
