This long-term plan is suitable for use with the original Kapow Primary Art and design scheme.
We recommend that schools no longer use this scheme and transition to our revised Art and design scheme. Within our revised Art and design scheme, you will find planning and assessment materials, videos, blogs, subject leader support documents and lots more for KS1, LKS2 and UKS2.
The condensed version of the Long-term plan for Art and design is for schools that teach Art and design for just 18 weeks in the school year. While the plan is condensed and does not provide the full breadth of lessons provided in our standard Art and design plan, it fulfils the national curriculum requirements for KS1 and KS2 Art and design by focusing on essential skills and knowledge.
We also offer:
- A standard Long-term plan for schools that teach Art and design most weeks of the school year.
- A long-term plan for teaching Art and design to mixed-age classes.
- A combined plan for schools that alternate the teaching of Art and design with Design and technology.

This condensed version of our RSE & PSHE long-term plan offers help to those schools who want to ensure coverage of the Relationship, sex and health education without dedicating a lesson a week to RSE & PSHE as suggested in our standard RSE & PSHE: Long-term plan.
We have ensured there is a range of themes covered and that pupils go above and beyond the statutory guidance by covering some key lessons from our Citizenship and Economic wellbeing units. This version of our Long-term plan could be used if teaching RSE & PSHE in a two-week, half termly cycle or through blocking the foundation subjects. Or it could simply be used to relieve pressure on curriculum time.
Please note that not all the skills and knowledge from our RSE& PSHE: Progression of skills and knowledge document will be covered: you are advised to see our RSE & PSHE: Progression of skills and knowledge — condensed version for further details of the skills and knowledge covered if you follow the condensed curriculum.
This long-term plan is suitable for use for schools following the original Kapow Primary Art and design scheme. We recommend that schools no longer use this scheme and transition to our revised Art scheme.

Our full 36-week RSE & PSHE curriculum plan for Reception, KS1 and KS2, is for schools who teach RSE & PSHE on a weekly basis.
Our Long-term plan gives a suggested order for teaching our RSE and PSHE units across the school year and explains the flexibility you have to adapt the scheme to your school.
The organisation of our RSE and PSHE curriculum into the following themes is explained: Families and relationships, Health and wellbeing, Safety and the changing body, Citizenship, Economic wellbeing and Identity (Year 6 only).
This standard version of the Long-term plan includes all of our RSE & PSHE units from EYFS: Recepetion – Year 6, giving full coverage of the statutory guidance for Relationships, Sex and Health Education and of the PSHE Association’s Programme of study.
If your school is short on curriculum time, you may wish to look at our RSE and PSHE: Long-term plan – condensed version, which gives full coverage of the RSHE statutory guidance in only 20 lessons.
To see the coverage of the RSHE statutory guidance please see our Statutory guidance mapping document.

For use if your school has mixed-age classes and are choosing to follow our RSE & PSHE mixed-age scheme, a unique scheme which 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).
Along with our suggestions for differentiation included in each lesson plan, this document 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 & PSHE, see RSE and PSHE Long-term plans.
This D&T Long-term plan — mixed-age version suggests an order for teaching our full Design and technology primary curriculum in a mixed-age setting with Year 1/2, 3/4 and 5/6 classes.
Our units are organised into a two-year rolling programme with Cycle A and Cycle B units to be taught alternately.
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 D&T: Progression of skills and knowledge- mixed-age document accompanies this version of the long-term planning.
Please note that some of our current units are being refreshed for 2024/25, and this long-term plan will therefore be updated. Please see p.10 of this document for more information.
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 Inter-related 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 simply 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: you are advised to see our Music: Progression of skills and knowledge — condensed version for further details of the skills and knowledge covered if you follow the condensed curriculum.
Please note that some of our current units are being refreshed for 2024/25, and this long-term plan will be updated during the summer holidays. Please see p.11 of this document for more information.
Our 30-week standard Music: Long-term plan is designed for schools that deliver primary school Music lessons each week, leaving some time for extra-curricular and other opportunities. It covers:

It gives a suggested order for teaching Kapow Primary’s units and details about flexibility within the scheme should you choose to adapt it to your school.
