Intent

Kapow Primary’s RSE & PSHE scheme of work aims to help pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to lead confident, healthy and fulfilling lives. The intention is for pupils to understand themselves and others, form positive relationships and make informed choices that support their wellbeing and the wellbeing of those around them.

The scheme encourages pupils to think with empathy, integrity and self-awareness, recognising how their actions and attitudes contribute to their communities. It supports them in developing respect for diversity, managing change and understanding their rights and responsibilities as citizens.

Kapow Primary’s RSE & PSHE curriculum is designed to build a strong foundation for safeguarding, preparing pupils to navigate an increasingly complex world with confidence and care. Lessons promote emotional literacy, resilience and a sense of personal agency, helping pupils to approach life’s challenges with maturity and compassion.

The scheme supports teachers by providing clear guidance, structured progression and engaging resources, enabling them to deliver sensitive topics with confidence. The curriculum is both accessible and ambitious, ensuring all pupils can participate fully and achieve their potential as kind, thoughtful and responsible individuals.

National Curriculum

The National Curriculum guidance is always our starting point when planning our curriculum. This guidance from the Department of Education sets out clear aims and course content for each subject.

We ensure we cover each aspect of this, then apply it to our own Curriculum approach.

Our Core Key Skills

For each subject, we have identified a set of Core Key Skills. These are the skills which underpin the children’s learning across the curriculum and enable them to progress and deepen their learning each year.

They show a clear progression in skills within each curriculum area and act as the building blocks for success.

Curriculum Map

Throughout our curriculum we believe in a subject specific teaching approach. The exact units to be taught are identified on our subject curriculum maps. Our curriculum maps ensure there is a clear progression of knowledge and skills underpinning the learning experiences of the children.
