How we fit with the National Curriculum

King Arthur’s Labyrinth covers topics studied across the Welsh and English curriculums especially history, geography, Welsh and English.
Within the Key Stage 2 History curriculum King Arthur's Labyrinth fits with the Myths and Legends requirement of the Romans, Anglo-Saxons & Vikings in Britain programme of study. Within the Key Stage 2 Geography curriculum there is a natural fit with the study program for Knowledge and Understanding of Environmental Change and Sustainable Development.

For students of Key Stage 3 Geography, the Labyrinth provides an exciting case study illustrating changing economic activity (from primary to tertiary activity). The vast caverns of King Arthur's Labyrinth are the surviving workings of the Braich Goch Slate Mine which operated between 1836 and 1970.

The storytelling environment of King Arthur's Labyrinth lends itself to the programmes of study for English and Welsh.

An Activity Pack (published by Domino Books, £2.00) is available based on King Arthur’s Labyrinth. Our own booklet, "King Arthur’s Labyrinth" (£2.00), provides a more advanced historical background. Secondary pupils and college students will find that the presentation lends itself to further work in the social studies and literature curriculum.
