Schemes of work are essential planning tools for teachers. They are a systematic outline of learning objectives, content, activities, and resources for a specific subject and grade level, typically broken down by week or term. They help teachers deliver lessons in a structured and effective way, ensuring that all students receive the same learning opportunities and that the curriculum is covered in its entirety. For Kenyan teachers, using well-prepared schemes of work saves time and provides a clear roadmap for the academic year.
Grade 1-3 Schemes of Work (Lower Primary)
The early grades of Kenya’s CBC focus on foundational skills and practical activities. Our 2025 Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3 schemes of work are tailored to this crucial stage. In these grades, learning areas like Literacy Activities (English and Kiswahili), Numeracy Activities (Mathematics), and Environmental Activities are taught through hands-on, play-based methods. For example, Grade 1 schemes for Numeracy might focus on counting and basic number recognition using everyday objects, while Literacy schemes will cover phonics and simple sentence construction. As students progress to Grade 2, they start building on these skills, with schemes for Environmental Activities introducing concepts of community and hygiene. By Grade 3, the schemes incorporate more complex tasks, such as reading comprehension and solving simple word problems in Mathematics, while also introducing a third language (indigenous) and subjects like Hygiene and Nutrition Activities and Creative Arts Activities. These schemes provide a week-by-week breakdown, making lesson planning straightforward and effective.
Grade 4-6 Schemes of Work (Upper Primary)
In Upper Primary, the CBC curriculum expands to include more specialized subjects. Our 2025 Grade 4, Grade 5, and Grade 6 schemes of work provide the framework for this transition. At this level, subjects become more distinct. For instance, Science and Technology schemes introduce basic scientific concepts and technological skills, while Social Studies schemes delve into geography, history, and civics. Agriculture and Nutrition becomes a key learning area, with schemes covering topics like crop farming and balanced diets. The schemes for Creative Arts and Sports guide teachers on developing a learner’s creative and physical abilities. Our PDF schemes for these grades are designed to support a smooth transition from foundational learning to more detailed subject knowledge. They include clear learning outcomes and performance indicators, ensuring teachers can effectively measure student progress in line with the KICD curriculum.
Grade 7-9 Schemes of Work (Junior Secondary)
Junior Secondary School marks a significant phase in a student’s educational journey, and our 2025 Grade 7, Grade 8, and Grade 9 schemes of work are built for this transition. These schemes are essential for navigating the new and integrated subjects of Junior Secondary. They include subjects such as Integrated Science, Pre-Technical Studies, and Business Studies. The schemes for English, Kiswahili, and Mathematics are designed to foster higher-order thinking skills, while subjects like Home Science, Visual Arts, and Performing Arts offer learners the chance to explore their talents. Our schemes for this level emphasize the cross-cutting issues and core values of the CBC, providing teachers with a structured guide to prepare learners for the final stages of their basic education. They are a must-have tool for any Junior Secondary teacher looking to deliver a robust and comprehensive curriculum.
