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.
This checklist details the essential equipment needed for Kapow Primary’s RSE & PSHE scheme of work. Use it in advance of teaching each unit to prepare resources required for our RSE & PSHE curriculum. For individual lessons, refer to the ‘Have ready’ section at the top of each lesson to ensure you’re well-prepared.
Please note that for some of the books, you may prefer to search online for a reading than to buy a copy but for copyright reasons we cannot link to readings that have not been done by the original author.

The list includes equipment needed for the Model Music Curriculum whole-class instrumental lessons. This resource should be reviewed before a Music unit is taught so that adequate preparation can be made in advance. The list comprises instruments needed for the units, classroom materials such as stationery and filming equipment, technology such as laptops or tablets, books (you may be able to borrow some of these from your school library) and more, providing you with a list of everything you will need to teach the Kapow Primary Music units.
For the KS2 instrumental lessons, we suggest choosing a tuned percussion instrument from glockenspiels, xylophones, metallophones, or chime bars. Untuned percussion instruments are not essential to teach this scheme, but if you want to buy specific instruments, claves, guiros, egg shakers, and gongs/cymbals would all be useful.
