Building on the inspiration and energy of December’s ASCL Cymru Annual Conference in Cardiff, this follow-up webinar led by curriculum and strategy expert Chris Jones will support school and trust leaders in Wales navigate the complex challenge of delivering a bold, mission-driven curriculum amid increasing financial pressures.

At a time when budgets are tightening but aspirations remain high, how can schools in Wales stay true to the values and ambitions of the Curriculum for Wales? This session will explore agile curriculum design, smart spending strategies, and principled decision-making to ensure every learner continues to benefit from a curriculum that is broad, rich, and purposeful.

Chris will unpack how leaders can align resources with their school’s vision, rethinking timetable models, staffing, and provision to protect what matters most. Expect practical takeaways, challenge to old assumptions, and a renewed focus on delivering a curriculum that truly reflects your community’s needs and values.

This is an opportunity to reflect, refocus, and lead with confidence, ensuring that even in constrained times, our curriculum remains an engine for equity, excellence, and long-term learner success.
