Kapow Computing and Online Safety

We teach Computing using the Kapow Scheme of Work.

Kapow Primary’s Computing 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: Each time a key area is revisited, it is covered with greater complexity.
  • Prior knowledge: Upon returning to each key area, prior knowledge is utilised so pupils can build on previous foundations, rather than starting again.
