Schools across Wales are changing. At Radyr, from September 2022, there will be a new curriculum for Year 7. This has been developed by teachers to suit the needs of our learners.

We have sought the views of all partners and will continue to review provision during its roll out and in the future.

More information regarding topics taught in Year 7 & 8 can be found in the curriculum letters published here.
