Average rating across all Kapow Primary reviews: 4.1/5

Great resource if a little too costly

How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

There is good progression across the subject and this is a key strength of the resource- a weakness is potentially that there is too much content

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

Reasonably: Essentially there’s enough for most pupils but there isn’t enough extension or challenge

Needs more extension for gifted and talented and also more for SEN at the correct level not a year below - more engaging topics

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

Reasonably: We can’t use it too often or for too long

It would be good if there were a greater range of topics for the children to access that related to the different projects we offer

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Well: We could (or do) use it for monitoring individual pupil progress

How well does it support planning?

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

Planning is supported and it means that teachers can literally pick up and go with the lessons and this saves time

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

The cost of Kapow is high and this is a stretch for the school - we use Twinkl and other resources so this adds up

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