General Curriculum Information - Welsh Baccalaureate

The article, which can be downloaded from the right hand column, gives guidance on the Welsh Baccaulereate, the key skills support programme and a summary of the principal parts and the levels.

The following is an extract from the article .

By adding personal development skills to vocational qualifications or academic study, the Welsh Baccalaureate helps young people achieve more. It makes them better equipped for the world of work, better informed and more active citizens. It allows for more flexibility in their studies, whatever mix of courses they are following. Students become better prepared for further and higher education, as well as employment.  

A Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification is also proof that a student has developed the Key Skills* considered important by employers and universities. It also shows they have furthered their personal and social education, undertaken an individual investigation, gained work experience and actively participated in a community project.
