How it works
Kapow Primary’s topics are based on the D&T Association’s Projects on a Page themes, with pupils’ skills and knowledge being developed across six key areas: structures, mechanisms, electrical systems, cooking and nutrition, digital world and textiles.
The mixed-age units follow a Cycle A and Cycle B format, supporting the progression of skills for children across the age range.
