Pre Curriculum for Wales, we had the following approaches in place;

         - Numicon whole school

Cluster Collaboration

1. Lucy Rowden (Deputy Head Teacher) attended the 4 day training module provided by the LA - 'Lucy Creehan, Curriculum design,' in May 2022. 
2. As a result of attending this training, a cluster working party was developed, consisting of senior leaders from each of the primary schools in the Dylan Thomas Cluster. This group was highly effective and supportive. The group met regularly and started to create a list of consistent 'domains,' for all AOL. This was supported by several advisors from the LA. Lucy Creehan, also supported and assisted this group. The cluster working party regularly fed back to the group of head teachers on the progress which was being made. 
3. The cluster working party also ensured that the staff at each school were prepared and updated regularly on the progress which was being made. Members of staff from Dylan Thomas were an integral part of the process ensuring they brought subject knowledge and PS4 and PS5 reflections.
4. In July 2022, it was decided that in order to share this approach with the cluster staff, an INSET session would be held – where all teaching staff, from each school could attend and start to develop their own AOL, under the 'Domain' headings, already established.
5. The INSET day was planned for 21st October 2022. Cluster party met and arranged the agenda. Training was delivered to staff and they were prepared with resources and pedological knowledge to start to plan a progressive curriculum. They used the Domains as the base and then planned the 'threads' from this. The day proved very successful and was well received by most.
6. Networks were established and staff were able to work within AOL groups to begin the process – this will continue over the next year.
