Education is changing
Curriculum for Wales Survey: parents, carers and learners 2024
We are keen to hear from parents, carers and children aged 4-14 about your experiences of education in Wales. We are carrying out a survey which will give us useful evidence to improve the guidance and support we issue to schools in rolling out Curriculum for Wales.
The survey takes around 10 minutes to complete.
At the end of the survey, parents and carers will be asked whether they wish to be entered into a prize draw to win a shopping voucher worth £100. To be entered, you will need to complete the survey and provide your name, email address and phone number.
About the national curriculum
The national curriculum was first introduced in 1988 before on-line shopping, Google and the Cloud. Now, the world of work is different, technology is different, society is constantly changing.
Our Curriculum for Wales has been designed to support young people develop the skills they need to make the most of life.
It will equip them with high standards of literacy and numeracy, and prepare them to become more digitally and bilingually competent, and to be confident, capable and compassionate citizens – citizens of Wales and citizens of the world.
Our curriculum, is made in Wales by teachers, partners, practitioners, and the wider community , shaped by the best ideas from around the world.
Assessment is part of each child’s learning every day and they’ll work with their teachers to understand how well they’re doing.
The new curriculum is being rolled out gradually, so by 2026 all learners will be taught under the Curriculum for Wales.
