Try our combined Art and DT curriculum
Our Combined Art and D&T Long-term plan is designed for schools that alternate between the subjects every half-term.
It suggests the most suitable combination of units from the Kapow Primary schemes to fulfil the national curriculum requirements for Art and D&T.
What others say…
I am really enjoying using the Kapow Art and Design scheme. The children are so engaged during lessons and the development of their skills and knowledge is clear to see.
Hannah Winston
The teacher videos are excellent as are the pupil videos. The explanations are explicit and I particularly like the example works from other schools.
Estelle Evans
The lessons are broken down into small steps, which gives the children the opportunity to adapt and edit their work throughout. The lessons are easy to find and I love the presentation mode.
Cynthia
As a whole staff, we feel Kapow offers everything we need: clear lesson plans, a broad range of materials and techniques, leadership documents, video examples. It has allowed us to teach engaging lessons and even those staff that disliked teaching art previously have said that they now love to teach this subject. Thank you.
Alice
It is incredibly helpful for teachers who have limited French experience. Activities are always relevant and adapted to different needs. They focus on having fun, which makes it incredibly engaging for the pupils. Lessons and units build really cohesively on one another to help them retain key vocabulary. It is incredible! Our school loves Kapow!
