Kapow’s Art and design scheme is designed around a spiral curriculum model, ensuring that children revisit and develop their understanding of key themes and concepts as they progress. This approach allows them to make meaningful connections across topics, reinforce their learning and achieve mastery over time.
-
Revisiting key concepts – pupils encounter the same ideas multiple times throughout their education, with each revisit adding more complexity.
-
Progressive depth – concepts are not just repeated but expanded upon, helping pupils to make connections and develop a richer understanding over time.
-
Knowledge retention – regular exposure to key ideas strengthens memory and prevents knowledge from being forgotten.
-
Skill development – pupils refine and apply their skills in different contexts, improving their ability to think critically and solve problems.
-
Adaptive learning – by building on prior knowledge, the curriculum meets pupils at their current level and supports all learners, including those who need extra reinforcement and those who are ready for greater challenges.
