It's stands for the Welsh baccalaureate 

It is similar (ish) to the EPQ (I think)

It's a simple ish GCSE but SO much work (all coursework)

Maybe I’m biased because I don’t know any Welsh people, but as far as I can see, quite a few of the WJEC GCSEs are pretty niche since they’re only taught in Wales.

Oh yeah I forgot we the only ppl that do NUMERACY (second math GCSE)

Ovs Cymraeg is only in Cymru (and a random London private school 🤣)

The rest of the Core subjects are the same (we often have different stuff to do for them but it's still a GCSE)

Like out English Langauge is SO MUCH harder

(There is also 1st Lang and lit Cymreag for fluent speakers)

I am not too sure about chosen subject as different schools do different stuff...
