WELSH BACCALAUREATE

Teachers: Miss. D. Pender, Mrs. E. Sargent, Dr. S. Roberts, Mr. A. P. Roberts, Miss. J. Lloyd

The focus of the Skills Challenge Certificate is on the essential and employability skills young people need in their future lives, these skills are developed and assessed through an Individual Project and three Challenges. The Skills Challenge Certificate has been designed to include learning and assessment which will enthuse, engage and motivate learners in the classroom, the workplace and the wider community. Learners are required to consider how the application of their learning may impact on individuals, employers, society and the environment. The qualification has been devised around the concept of a ‘plan, do, and review’ approach to learning where learners are introduced to a context for learning, plan activities, carry out activities, review outcomes and learning
