Our approach to the primary Computing curriculum

This full 36-week EYFS, KS1 and KS2 long-term plan for Computing is designed for schools that deliver the subject each week. Based on Kapow Primary’s Computing scheme, the document suggests an order for teaching our units to ensure the best possible progression.

What does Kapow Primary’s Computing long-term plan contain?

The organisation of our Computing curriculum is explained, with information which may help you to adapt our scheme to suit your school. Further information about teaching computing in the Early Years and fitting our unique online safety lessons into your curriculum time is also included.

This standard version of the Long-term plan includes all of our Computing units from EYFS to Year 6, giving full coverage of the National curriculum.

Can I adapt the computing long-term plan to my school?

All schools have different needs. Kapow Primary’s Computing units can be taught in different orders or moved within key stages to align with your school’s specific requirements and cross-curricular links.

If your school is short on curriculum time, you may wish to use our Long-term plan – condensed version, which covers the National curriculum in only 20 lessons per year group.
