About this curriculum
Kapow’s RSE and PSHE scheme of work has been designed as a spiral curriculum with the following key principles in mind:
- Cyclical: Pupils revisit the five key areas throughout KS1 and KS2.
- Increasing depth= progressive: Each time a key area is revisited, it is covered with greater depth and increasing maturity.
- Prior knowledge: Upon returning to each key area, prior knowledge is utilised so pupils can build on previous foundations, rather than starting again. It covers 5 main areas- Family and relationships, Health and Wellbeing, Citizenship, Economic Wellbeing and Safety and the Changing Body. Year 6 also cover Identity.
There is clear progression throughout the units which build on prior learning please see school curriculum coverage and progression documents.
