Intent

At Teesville Academy, we use KAPOW scheme of work to deliver our PSHE and our RSE curriculum. The scheme aims to give children the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need to effectively navigate the complexities of the world they live in. The curriculum covers key areas which will support children to make informed choices around their health, well being, safety and relationships.  It will support them in becoming confident individuals, able to take their place in society.

The KAPOW scheme contributes to pupils' personal development and promotes the fundamental British values - democracy, rule of law, respect, tolerance and individual liberty.

Implementation

The KAPOW Primary scheme is a whole school approach that consists of three areas of learning in EYFS and five areas of learning across Key Stages One and Two.

EYFS                                                

• Self regulation                  

Building Relationships

Managing Self

Key Stage One and Two 

Families and relationships

Health and wellbeing

Safety and the changing body

Citizenship

Economic wellbeing

Each area is revisited to allow children to build on prior learning. Lessons are progressive in nature and are based on the statutory requirements for Health and Relationships education. Where lessons go beyond these requirements they refer to the PSHE Association Programme of Study

Impact

Each lesson within KAPOW's scheme features assessment guidance, helping teachers to identify whether pupils have met, exceeded or were unable to meet the desired learning intention for that lesson. Each unit of lessons comes with an assessment quiz and a knowledge catcher. They can be used at the start or end of a unit to help measure progress or identify gaps. When the scheme has been taught, children will have met the the objectives set out in The Relationships and Health Education statutory guidance. They will be able to utilise their learning within their daily lives, from dealing to friendship issues to resilience to making safe and healthy choices. They will also understand where and how to get help when needed.
