This is for use if your school has mixed-age classes and you are choosing to follow our mixed-age RSE & PSHE scheme of work. This unique scheme supports children in progressing year-on-year with their RSE & PSHE learning despite the challenges of teaching the subject to a mixed-age class.
The mixed-age scheme of work fulfils the statutory requirements for Relationships and Health Education set out by the Department of Education. It also refers to the PSHE Association Programme of Study (recommended by the Department of Education).
When this RSE & PSHE scheme of work is taught in conjunction with our Computing scheme, it also covers the government’s Education for a Connected World framework (see our Education for a Connected World framework mapping).
This document, along with our suggestions for differentiation included in each lesson plan, will enable you to support progress between year groups despite the challenges of mixed-age teaching. If you would like to see our standard Long-term plan or condensed plan for teaching RSE and PSHE, see RSE and PSHE Long-term plans.

The organisation of our Design and technology curriculum is also explained, detailing the strands that thread through every unit: Design, Make, Evaluate and Technical knowledge. Each unit is hyperlinked, and a short description of the content gives you an overview of Kapow’s Design and technology curriculum.

A 20-week condensed Long-term plan focussing on the essential skills and knowledge in the Music curriculum in a shorter timescale.
At Kapow Primary we understand that curriculum time is always tight in primary schools. Therefore, we have created a condensed curriculum version of our Long-term plan to help those schools who want to ensure coverage of the national curriculum, without dedicating an hour a week to Music.
We have ensured there is a range of musical styles covered and that the interrelated dimensions of music (pulse, pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure, appropriate musical notation) are given similar attention in terms of coverage. This version of our long-term plan could be used if teaching Music in a two-week, half-termly cycle or through blocking the foundation subjects. Or it could be used to relieve pressure on curriculum time.
Please note that not all the skills and knowledge from our Music: Progression of skills and knowledge document will be covered. If following the condensed curriculum, see Music: Progression of skills and knowledge — condensed for further details of the skills and knowledge covered.
Please note that some of our current units are being refreshed for 2024/25. Accordingly, this long-term plan has been updated to reflect this. See pages 3 and 4 of this document for more information.
