Introducing the Religion and worldviews scheme of work
This downloadable guide is intended for parents and carers to understand what their children will learn each term by following the Kapow Primary condensed Religion and worldviews scheme of work.
The guide provides a summary of each unit within the R&W scheme, outlining what children will learn in their lesson plans each term from EYFS (Reception) to Year 6.
Subscribing schools may share this guide on their websites or through other communication channels, ensuring parents and carers are well-informed about the R&W skills and knowledge their children will acquire throughout the school year.

This Science video introduces teachers to how pupils can use their knowledge of variation, inheritance, and adaptation to understand natural selection and the theory of evolution. Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace proposed that traits helping an organism survive or reproduce are more likely to be passed on, as nature “selects” the best adapted to compete for resources.
This Science video introduces teachers to an investigation modelling Charles Darwin’s observations of finch beaks in the Galapagos. Pupils use tweezers and fingers as beaks and rice as food, timing how much can be transferred between containers in ten seconds.
This Science video introduces teachers to the concepts of variation, inheritance, and adaptation, and how these factors affect survival. Variation is the difference between individuals of the same species, caused by the environment, genetics, or a combination of both. Environmental variation, such as accents, injuries, or hobbies, is influenced by lifestyle and surroundings and cannot be passed on to offspring.
This History scheme of work video equips teachers with strategies to help pupils use historical sources to investigate the past. It defines what sources are: written, visual, oral or physical, and explains how they become meaningful evidence when used to support historical claims.
Teachers are guided on how to introduce source-based enquiry from Reception through to Year 6. Early examples include handling objects from living memory and comparing visual materials, while older pupils can work with maps, census data or archaeological finds. The video encourages progression by developing questioning skills and providing historical context so pupils can make sense of what they’re studying.
This History scheme of work video introduces pupils to the concept of historical sources: the materials we use to find out about the past. From physical objects and written documents to audio recordings and digital content, pupils learn to explore and question a wide range of source types.
The video explains the difference between primary sources (created at the time of an event) and secondary sources (created after the event, often by people who weren’t there). Pupils are encouraged to think critically about the origins of sources, their creators, and their reliability. Real examples are included, such as speeches, diary entries, artefacts and websites.
