Pre-2026 Art and D&T (revised scheme): Long-term plan

This document offers a combined version of Kapow Primary’s pre-2026 Art and design and Design and technology long-term plans for schools that alternate between the subjects every half term.

 

This plan has been superseded for those following the 2026 scheme. See here.

 

Note: Schools must subscribe to both subjects to access all the units outlined in this plan.

Art and design scheme: Long-term plan — condensed

This plan outlines Kapow’s condensed Art and Design curriculum for the entire school, and contains important information for teachers, subject coordinators, school leaders, and outside bodies. The structure and organisation of the curriculum, which covers four key areas for each year group: drawing; painting and mixed media; sculpture and 3D; and craft and design, is explained on our Art curriculum information page.

 

 

Original Art and design scheme: Key skills by unit (including condensed curriculum)

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.

See our revised Art and design scheme here.

Music: Progression of skills and knowledge — mixed-age
