Qualification outlines and consultations

Throughout the development of our new Made-for-Wales qualifications, we actively engage with stakeholders to support our work. Below, you can access current and previous consultation materials and their outcomes.

Wave 1
Wave 2

We are now developing the second wave of our new made-for-Wales GCSEs and related qualifications for first teaching in September 2026. These qualifications should support learners in realising the four purposes of the Curriculum for Wales.

Before developing the detailed specification and sample assessment material, we will develop a short document for each subject which gives our high-level proposal for the structure, focus and assessment of each qualification.

These documents, called qualification outlines, build on the Approval Criteria and provide some key information that will form the basis of our detailed qualification development.
