Review rating:

Average rating across all Kapow Primary reviews: 4.1/5

Either 3 or 6 lessons would be better organisation

 

How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

The organisation across the year groups is great, the mixed year groups planning is great.

 

How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?

Well: A large majority of resources are suitably differentiated for pupils

There is differentiation on all planning

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

Well: Pupils generally enjoy using it and tend to welcome doing so

Children enjoy the final activities, when they get to make.

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Reasonably: There is some formative assessment included, but its usefulness is a bit limited

There are assessment notes for each lesson

 

How well does it support planning?d is straightforward to use with classes

This is really strong

 

How would you rate it for value for money compared to similar resources?

Brilliantly: It’s possibly the best value for money of any similar resources I’ve seen

Great value

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 9/11
