Pengam Primary School

School Curriculum

Whilst the priority of the school is the teaching of the core subjects of English, Mathematics, Science and ICT the children will receive a broad curriculum through the study of Welsh, Technology, History, Geography, Art, Music, Physical Education and Religious Education.  Nursery and Reception children will experience this curriculum through the "Desirable Outcomes" and the "Four Counties Profile".

Health Education is provided mainly in the context of the Science programmes of study, which help pupils acquire the knowledge and understanding that is essential for healthy living through emphasising the development of healthy lifestyles, eating a healthy diet and taking regular exercise.  Nursery and Reception children will experience Health Education through personal and social development.  There is no specific subject inclusions under the teaching of sex education in the school.  Aspects are only covered as they may arise in certain areas of science.

A number of curriculum areas are enriched by educational visits to places of interest such as Techniquest, Welsh Heritage Museum St Fagans, Llancaiach Fawr, Techniquest, Mosques and Synagogues, Water Treatment Centre in Cilfynydd.  There are regular residential visits to the Kingswood Centre to enhance the delivery of ICT and Outdoor Pursuits
