๐Ÿ“– Reading & Literacy in Cardiff

Cardiff's reading attainment reflects the bilingual nature of the school system. English-medium schools perform broadly in line with national averages for Wales, while Welsh-medium schools show strong literacy outcomes in both languages. The introduction of the Curriculum for Wales in 2022 has refocused attention on literacy as a cross-curricular skill.

๐Ÿ”ข Maths & Numeracy in Cardiff

Cardiff's numeracy results are broadly at Welsh national average, with the Numeracy and Literacy Framework providing a consistent curriculum structure across the city's schools.

๐Ÿ’ฐ The Pocket Money Game for Cardiff Families

Note: The Pocket Money Game is aligned to the KS1 and KS2 National Curriculum for England. Welsh parents will find significant overlap with the Curriculum for Wales, particularly in spelling and numeracy content, but there are curriculum differences to be aware of.

The Pocket Money Game works entirely within the KS1 and KS2 National Curriculum for England, covering the statutory spelling word lists, curriculum-aligned maths across all six primary year groups, and comprehension stories matched to each reading level. Children earn configurable amounts of real pocket money for every correct answer โ€” parents set the rate, track progress, and pay out whenever they choose.

Every family in Cardiff can try the game completely free for seven days, with no credit card required. The full game โ€” spelling, maths and reading across all six levels โ€” is available from the first day of the trial.
