Guidance Notes Educating the public in history and archaeology is an important goal of GGAT, and in accordance with Cwricwlwm Cymreig we attempt to encourage student interest in Welsh history and culture within a regional, national and global context. Possible visits and resources have been mapped out against the current curriculum for Key Stages 2, 3 and 4, in compliance with the learning requirements of the National Curriculum for Wales and the Welsh Joint Education Committee (WJEC). The table below displays topics which are intended to be studied in relation to Wales and the educational body which has been consulted. Topics Educational Body Key Stage 2 Iron Age Celts National Curriculum for Romans in Wales Wales The ‘Age of Princes’ Tudors and Stuarts Nineteenth Century Wales Twentieth Century Wales Key Stage 3 Normans 1000-1500 National Curriculum for Early Modern Wales 1500-1760 Wales Industrial Wales 1760-1914 Twentieth Century Wales 1914-1991 Key Stage 4 The Elizabethan Age 1558-1603 Welsh Joint Education Radicalism and Protest 1810-1848 Committee (WJEC) Depression, War and Recovery 1930-1951 For teaching from 2016 Austerity, Affluence and Discontent 1951-1979 Possible visits and resources have been presented in alignment with the subject and Key Stage in which they have been deemed most suitable. However, there is some overlap between topics, and resources which are applicable to Key Stage 2 may be equally applicable to topics for older students. Web-links have been incorporated into the following lists to make it easier for users to access the relevant webpages and resources, and a list of all the webpages can also be found at the back of this document. A list of possible visits by location can also be found within this piece of guidance. It should be noted that some websites provide resources which cover a wide array of subjects, such as Archives Wales and Archwilio. Both of these have information and sources on Wales dating from ancient history through to the modern period. Furthermore, many of the organisations listed have handling collections related to their topics which may be taken into schools, GGAT included. If an educational facility desires to access these collections then it is advised that they contact the organisation directly.
