This document refers to our ARCHIVED Art and design scheme, which is no longer maintained to reflect curriculum changes or publishing updates. We recommend that you use the up to date Art & design and D&T Combined plan found here.
This combined Art and design and DT long-term plan is suitable for use with our now ARCHIVED Art and design scheme. We recommend that schools no longer use this scheme and transition to our up-to-date Art & design scheme.
Kapow Primary’s combined, long-term plan for two national curriculum subjects: Art and design, and Design and technology. The plan is based on our schemes of work for Art and design and Design and technology and is for schools that alternate between the subjects each half term.
The plan fulfils the essential requirements of the KS1 and KS2 National Curriculum for Art and design and Design and technology. Each block is hyperlinked to the recommended units of lessons and contains brief descriptions of the lessons and key learning points.
We also provide a standard Art and design: Long-term plan and a standard Design and technology: Long-term plan for schools that teach the subjects throughout the year.
A handy D&T long-term planning document, offering full oversight of the subject throughout the primary age range. Providing lots of further information, including how our scheme has been designed and how it can be tailored to your teaching and learning needs, it is a one-stop-shop for teachers and leaders alike. The organisation of our Design and technology curriculum is explained, detailing the strands that thread through every unit: Design, Make, Evaluate and Technical knowledge. Each unit is hyperlinked and a short description of the content gives you an overview of Kapow’s Design and technology curriculum.
This condensed version of our Computing: Long-term plan offers help to those schools who want to ensure coverage of the national curriculum, without dedicating an hour a week to Computing as suggested in our standard Computing: Long-term plan.
In only 18 lessons, you can ensure full coverage of the national curriculum for Computing. The selected Computing lessons ensure that there is balanced coverage of our five key areas of Computing, as well as one Skills showcase unit, to give pupils an opportunity to combine and apply skills from different units.
This version of our Long-term plan could be used if you are teaching Computing in a two-week, half-termly cycle or are block teaching foundation subjects. It could also be used to relieve pressure on teachers and pupils in terms of the amount of curriculum content.
Please note that not all the skills and knowledge from our Computing: Progression of skills and knowledge document will be covered: you are advised to see our Computing: Progression of skills and knowledge — condensed version for further details of the skills and knowledge covered if you follow the condensed curriculum.
