Kapow Primary – Computing Curriculum in Action Primary teachers face a common challenge—delivering engaging and effective computing lessons without specialist training. With the increasing importance of digital literacy, coding, and computational thinking, they needed a structured, easy-to-follow curriculum that would support both teachers and pupils. That’s where Kapow Primary transforms schools' approaches to teaching computiing. How Kapow Primary Supports Computing Education Using Kapow Primary’s Computing scheme of work, teachers gained access to: ✅ Step-by-step lesson plans with clear explanations and engaging activities ✅ Teacher demonstration videos to build confidence and subject knowledge ✅ Hands-on coding tasks using Scratch and Python, making programming accessible ✅ E-safety modules that promote safe and responsible online behaviour ✅ Assessment tools to track pupil progress and ensure curriculum coverage With these resources, even non-specialist teachers could deliver lessons with confidence and enthusiasm. The pupils, in turn, became more engaged, developing problem-solving skills through interactive coding challenges and real-world applications. Impact on Learning After implementing Kapow Primary’s Computing curriculum, schools can see a noticeable improvement in both teacher confidence and pupil engagement. Year 5 pupils who have never coded before may be able to create their own interactive games using Scratch, while Year 6 students developed an understanding of computer networks and cybersecurity. By providing structured yet flexible resources, Kapow Primary ensures that schools can deliver a progressive computing curriculum, preparing pupils with essential digital skills for the future.
