In Wales, Key Stage 3 covers Years 7 to 9 and is now part of the Curriculum for Wales framework. Students in Port Talbot experience learning through six Areas of Learning and Experience, with an emphasis on developing the four purposes: ambitious learners, enterprising contributors, ethical citizens, and healthy individuals. Our tutors support the academic side of this framework, focusing on the skills and knowledge that matter most.
Years 7–9 Under the New Curriculum
The Curriculum for Wales gives schools in Port Talbot more flexibility in how they teach, but the core academic expectations remain. Students need strong literacy, numeracy, and scientific understanding. Our tutors focus on these fundamentals, ensuring that the flexibility of the new curriculum doesn't leave gaps in essential knowledge.
Preparing for GCSEs
GCSE courses in Wales follow the WJEC specification, and Year 9 students in Port Talbot need to be ready for the step up. Our tutors help bridge the gap between KS3 and GCSE, building the subject knowledge and exam skills that WJEC papers require.
