**The latest mixed-age Long-term plan can now be found in the RSE & PSHE curriculum portal.**

Our approach to the mixed-age RSE & PSHE curriculum 

The mixed-age Long-term plan provides a detailed overview of Kapow Primary’s mixed-age RSE & PSHE scheme of work, designed to support mixed-age settings arranged into Y1/2, Y3/4 and Y5/6 classes.

The plan organises RSE & PSHE units into a rolling two-year programme, with Cycle A and Cycle B units taught alternatively. This allows teachers to confidently deliver a well-structured, mixed-age RSE & PSHE scheme aligned with the DoE’s statutory guidance and the PSHE Association’s Programme of Study.

What does the mixed-age RSE & PSHE plan contain?

The plan outlines the progression of skills and knowledge in RSE & PSHE, ensuring that pupils build upon their learning each year in a spiral curriculum.

It covers the statutory requirements of the National curriculum, details the RSE & PSHE skills and knowledge taught and offers guidance on primary RSE & PSHE assessment and the scheme’s implementation.
