This week, we are excited to launch Cwricwlwm Maestro, built specifically for schools in Wales. This user–friendly online system allows you to design, teach and assess your curriculum all in one place. Populated with engaging, editable curriculum projects and more than 2000 high–quality teaching resources, Cwricwlwm Maestro will help you to meet the Curriculum for Wales requirements and bring rich learning to life.
When you first log on, Cwricwlwm Maestro guides you through the curriculum design process. Starting with The four purposes, it allows you to add projects and lessons that fully cover the statements of what matters for each of the six areas of learning and experience (AoLEs). The Literacy and Numeracy Framework (LNF) and Digital Competence Framework (DCF) can also be fully integrated into your teaching and learning.
You can access Cwricwlwm Maestro by purchasing a licence that’s priced according to your school size. If you already have a Cornerstones licence, the good news is that it’s included in your current package. Simply transfer to Cwricwlwm Maestro and you and your staff can enjoy access to all content, tools and resources at any time, on any device.
Cwricwlwm Maestro houses the broad and balanced Cornerstones Curriculum, which includes the popular Welsh Humanities projects and a complete suite of teaching resources. Simply choose and adapt these projects to suit your needs or use the system to develop your own. All content will automatically link to the What Matters statements and Cwricwlwm Maestro’s skills and knowledge framework. This helps you to ensure clear curriculum coverage and progression.
If you are a school wanting to manage and assess your own curriculum, Cwricwlwm Maestro also comes in a Lite version. The table below shows you what’s included with both options.

With your curriculum in place, Cwricwlwm Maestro provides staff with the tools and resources to deliver and manage it with ease. As all projects are editable, you can develop a truly bespoke curriculum, which is an important aspect of the new Curriculum for Wales.
Cwricwlwm Maestro makes light work of leadership in your school, helping you to track actual coverage and progression in line with the AoLEs, LNF and DCF. It ensures sequenced learning across year groups, with vibrant resources to support teachers’ delivery.

Cwricwlwm Maestro seamlessly links your curriculum, teaching and assessment, avoiding the need to buy extra assessment packages. Live tools help you to monitor coverage and your children’s progression in all key areas, including the mandatory LNF and DCF skills. This helps you to gain an accurate judgement of what is actually being taught and learned in your curriculum.
With Cwricwlwm Maestro, everything is kept live and relevant. All staff have a log in and can view and share lesson plans, timetables and assessment. As well as unifying your curriculum approach, being online allows for paperless curriculum delivery and management.
You can also share your curriculum design and project information with parents and the wider community, as everything that you need to share can be uploaded to your school website.
Cwricwlwm Maestro for Wales has everything that you need to move towards the new curriculum, starting in September 2020, in line with government expectations.
