Curriculum for Wales

The Maelor School community wholeheartedly embodies the four purposes of the Curriculum for Wales, which will enable our children to become:

  • ambitious, capable learners,
  • enterprising, creative contributors,
  • healthy, confident individuals and
  • ethical, informed citizens.

Vision

The goal of The Maelor School is to enable all our young people to ‘realise their potential’ within our happy, supportive and inspiring community.

We have high expectations for all our learners and value their diversity and the strengths of each unique person, taking pride in our culture. We encourage teamwork and collaboration and embrace every opportunity to develop self-respect, confidence and resilience, equipping our pupils to lead successful and fulfilling lives as individuals, professionals and global citizens.

The curriculum we provide is accessible, inclusive and challenging, offering rich learning experiences. It also offers opportunities for innovation, creativity and critical thinking in order to encourage development of independence, perseverance and personal effectiveness. We strive to enhance the use of digital technology to enable our pupils to become well-informed, responsible digital citizens and lifelong learners.
