The primary aim of the Pioneer Schools taking forward the New Deal will be to develop professional learning focussing on pedagogy and leadership to ensure that all our practitioners in Wales have the skills and confidence to use the new curriculum successfully. By July 2016, these Pioneer Schools will have developed a detailed action plan, with the support of their regional consortium, which will set out the areas they will focus on during the period September 2016 – July 2017. New Deal Pioneers schools will also be taking forward specific projects to address workload issues and build capacity in the system.
