This skills overview 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 scheme.
This overview shows the key skills covered across each year group and identifies which units give coverage of each of these skills.
If you are following our Long-term plan: Condensed, there are some skills and artists that are not covered. These skills are highlighted on the document with the ✦ symbol.

A downloadable spreadsheet that can be used to record teacher assessments from the lesson. The formulae then show what percentage of the lessons taught the child has been working towards, secure understanding or greater depth, allowing you to check on their achievements in the subject at any point in the school year, such as when reporting to parents. It can also be used to identify areas where the whole class may need to revisit learning.

This document is for those following our Computing: Long-term plan – mixed-age and gives an overview of the skills and knowledge progression throughout our Computing curriculum.
It shows which cycle each skill is covered in and those skills which are in bold are those which appear in both cycle A and cycle B. Please note that the cycles in each phase may look unbalanced in terms of coverage. For example, one cycle may have all the programming units, and the other have none. This decision has been made to ensure that the learning in these areas is progressive in terms of skills and knowledge and that pupils have the same opportunities by the end of Year 2, Year 4 and Year 6 as they would do if they were being taught in single year groups.
If you would like to see the skills and knowledge covered in each unit, then please see our Computing key skills and knowledge by unit.
