PP1 KICD Curriculum Designs

Use this page to access PP1 curriculum designs for Pre-Primary 1 and to confirm the correct KICD source before planning. The resource table is the main download area, while the guidance below helps teachers distinguish the official curriculum design from supporting classroom resources. For broader design navigation, use the KICD Curriculum Designs Main Page.

The table below should contain the current KICD PP1 curriculum designs selected for this page. Use the document title and source information shown in the table to choose the design you need. Subject or learning-area names, file details and availability belong in the table so that the page remains accurate when KICD updates its resource set.

KICD’s current curriculum-design navigation separates designs for regular learners from designs for learners with special needs. Its regular curriculum-design route includes Pre-Primary designs, and the Pre-Primary page provides separate sections for Pre-Primary 1 and Pre-Primary 2. When checking a PP1 design document, confirm that the resource belongs to the intended learner group and level before using it for planning.

How to use a PP1 curriculum design

A curriculum design is a planning reference, not a ready-made lesson for a particular class. Start by reading the relevant design closely, then use its learning outcomes, suggested learning experiences and assessment guidance as the basis for your own preparation. The class timetable, available materials, learner needs and school context still affect how a teacher organises individual lessons.

• Confirm the level: make sure the document is for PP1 rather than PP2 or another grade.
• Confirm the source: prefer the current KICD source or a TeachersKE table entry that clearly traces back to KICD.
• Plan from the design: use the curriculum outcomes and guidance to organise lessons rather than copying a generic sequence without checking it.
• Adapt responsibly: adjust activities, examples and pacing to suit the learners while keeping the intended curriculum outcomes in view.

This approach also helps separate the role of PP1 curriculum designs from schemes of work and lesson plans. The design provides the curriculum reference; schemes organise work over a period; lesson plans translate that preparation into individual teaching sessions.

Check the official KICD source

For source verification, use the KICD Pre-Primary Curriculum Designs page and the wider KICD curriculum-design navigation. KICD is the official source used here for the curriculum-design documents. TeachersKE is an independent resource page that organises access and adds navigation; it should not be presented as issuing, approving or endorsing the curriculum designs itself.

If a table entry has an unclear title, old source path or uncertain version, check it against the current KICD route before relying on it. This is especially important when a file has been saved locally or renamed, because the filename alone may not show whether it is the current KICD PP1 design source.

Related PP1 teaching resources

After checking the design, continue with the planning resources that serve different classroom tasks. Teachers can use PP1 schemes of work to organise curriculum coverage and PP1 lesson plans for lesson-level preparation. Keep the curriculum design as the reference point when adapting either resource to a particular class.

PP1 design FAQs

Where can I find the PP1 curriculum designs?

Use the resource table on this page for the PP1 design entries prepared for TeachersKE. For source checking, use KICD’s Pre-Primary Curriculum Designs page, which includes a Pre-Primary 1 section.

Are the documents on this page official KICD curriculum designs?

The table entries should point to KICD curriculum-design documents or source pages that can be traced to the official KICD route. TeachersKE is not KICD and does not issue or approve curriculum designs. Verify any unclear table entry against the current KICD source before publication or use.

What is the difference between a curriculum design and a PP1 lesson plan?

The PP1 curriculum design is the curriculum reference for the level. A lesson plan is a teacher’s plan for a specific lesson or teaching session. The lesson plan should be prepared with the relevant curriculum design in view.

Should I check for a newer PP1 design every year?

Do not assume that a curriculum design changes simply because the calendar year changes. Check the current KICD source when you need to confirm whether a revised or replacement document has been issued, and use the verified version rather than a year label alone.
