Review rating: 
Average rating across all Kapow Primary reviews: 4.1/5
Needs tweaking for lower end if school in some topics.
How well does it match the curriculum?
Reasonably: It’s good enough for the money, but needs some additional resources
Find that sometimes it expecting too much of the youngest children
How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?
Reasonably: Essentially there’s enough for most pupils but there isn’t enough support / extension or challenge
Some topics are great. Easily accessible. Others less so
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Reasonably: We can’t use it too often or for too long
Again some topics ok some lacking
How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?
Well: We could (or do) use it for monitoring individual pupil progress
Works well
How well does it support planning?
Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation
Comprehensive
How would you rate it for value for money compared to similar resources?
Reasonably: It represents about the same value for money as similar resources I’ve seen
To be fair not much experience but does ensure consistency across school
Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 7/11
