Please note this document has recently been updated to reflect changes to our long-term plan. See the Music: Long-term plan — condensed to find out more about these changes.
This document is to be used alongside our Music: Long-term plan — condensed version.
It shows the progression in skills across the Music scheme of work in the following strands: Listening and evaluating, Creating sound, Notation, Improvising and composing, and Performing. It covers:
EYFS (Reception) Music lesson plans
Key Stage 1 Music lesson plans
Lower Key Stage 2 lesson plans
Upper Key Stage 2 lesson plans
Please note that, whilst we have tried to get full coverage, the skills and knowledge covered in our condensed curriculum is not the full range of skills and knowledge, nor in the same depth you would find if following our standard Music: Long-term plan. This curriculum, does, however, ensure national curriculum coverage.
If you have enough time, we would recommend using our standard Music: Long-term plan and accompanying Progression of skills and knowledge document
If your school is following our Long-term plan — mixed-age for music, then please see the accompanying Progression of skills and knowledge — mixed-age.
If you would like to see the skills and knowledge covered in each unit, then please see our Music: Key skills and knowledge by unit.
*Now updated to reflect our newly published Drawing units*

This document 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 document explains 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.
The Progression of skills and knowledge — condensed document accompanies this long-term plan.
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.
