Music: Progression of skills and knowledge — condensed
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.

Knowledge organiser – DT: Y5 Electrical systems: Doodlers
A Knowledge Organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Design and Technology, Year 5, Electrical Systems – Doodlers.
This resource is designed to support pupils as they investigate how motors, circuits, and axles can be combined to create moving products. It introduces key vocabulary such as circuit, current, electric motor, configuration, and target user. Pupils also explore the function of series circuits and learn how a break in the circuit can stop the flow of electricity—demonstrated through clear illustrations of “on” and “off” configurations. This unit reinforces foundational knowledge in electronics and mechanical systems, encouraging pupils to analyse, problem-solve, and design purposeful, motorised outcomes.
