A Curriculum for all learners

The guidance is focused particularly on Key Stages 2 and 3, but will be useful to staff working in the Foundation Phase and with learners aged 14-19 in a variety of settings.  

It is based on the Rights of the Child and has seven core aims which seek to ensure that all children and young people develop their potential to the full and have:

• a flying start in life;
• a comprehensive range of education and learning opportunities;
• enjoy the best possible health and are free from abuse, victimisation and exploitation;
• access to play, leisure, sporting and cultural activities;
• treated with respect, are listening to and have their race and cultural identity recognised;
• a safe home and a community which supports physical and emotional well-being; and
• are not disadvantaged by poverty.
