How do the Kapow Primary mixed-aged schemes ensure progression?
Our mixed-age schemes are taught over two years as Cycle A and Cycle B. Lessons from the same key areas are included in both cycles to ensure progression. For example, in Art and design the National Curriculum core areas like ‘drawing’ and ‘sculpture and 3D’ are grouped together within a cycle. This ensures skills and knowledge progression no matter which order the cycles are taught.
We have a variety of planning materials available to support mixed-age teaching across Kapow subjects. They include:
