    Humanities 2020: Nia Vaughan & Sarah Whitehouse
    Nov 27 2023

    Listen to Nia Vaughan, teacher, and subject leader for humanities and equality and diversity at a primary school in Bridgend in South Wales. Nia is a former undergraduate QTS trainee from BA Primary QTS programme at UWE. There she worked with Dr Sarah Whitehouse, Senior Lecturer at UWE focus Humanities who is now supporting her in her PhD studies.


    We talked about a range of perspectives including the 2020 Curriculum for Wales framework guidance. It aims to help each school develop its own curriculum, enabling their learners to develop towards the four purposes of the curriculum – the starting point and aspiration for every child and young person in Wales.
