Average rating across all Kapow Primary reviews: 4.1/5

How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Slightly too restrictive though

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

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

Suggestions for support and challenge

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Pupils enjoy lessons but could do with more opportunities for problem solving

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

We do not use these so hard to comment

How well does it support planning?

Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation

Clear lessons

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

Well: It’s worth the money and effort to introduce – more so than many similar resources I’ve seen

Fairly cheap

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 7/11
