Transitioning to Kapow Primary Computing

Planning for each year group to support staff and pupils to smoothly transition to our Computing scheme. All year groups have two catch up units (except for year two, which has one unit) to build a solid foundation of essential knowledge and skills before proceeding to our intended units and lessons for the year group.

Each of the catch-up units consists of selected lessons taken from a range of units in the previous year groups. This will support both staff and pupils in feeling confident and comfortable when approaching more advanced lessons.

You may find our Required hardware and software list for Computing particularly useful when planning, refer to this document for a comprehensive list of applications and software packages that are used across our Computing scheme of work.

D&T: Progression of skills and knowledge — condensed

This document is to be used by schools following the D&T: Long-term plan — condensed. It gives an overview of how skills and knowledge develop through our scheme of work for Design and technology.

Please note that the D&T: Long-term plan — condensed does not cover all the skills and knowledge covered in our full scheme of work. It does, however, ensure that children are given opportunities to work towards all of the attainment targets set out in the national curriculum.

If you are following our standard D&T: Long-term plan, then please see our Design and technology: Progression of skills and knowledge.
