Kapow Primary Reviews 

We have to do this at school and I like it but could have more interesting topics in some of the topics

So much teacher CPD support and knowledge packed into all the subjects. The lessons are saving teachers so much time planning and preparing. They have really knowledgeable, skilled lesson creators and friendly, reactive customer service.
The interactive resources are fantastic and the digital content is really easy to use and navigate - no more paper planning print-outs!! I love the learner videos and integrated presentations.

Kapow Primary provided us with a fantastic DT and Food Tech scheme of work and excellent expert support. Projects are ambitious and well thought through, provide clear planning and assessment with links to the National Curriculum as well as videos, flipcharts, worksheets etc. There are prior and after project quizes, knowledge catchers, pupil satisfaction and progression of skills and knowledge documents attached. Overall, very happy with the product:)

Fast and effective response to my enquiry...

I was trying to get ahead with planning for the new school year and bumped into an issue where I couldn't retrieve the French resources.

I spoke with Fahim (through email) and then he arranged for a zoom call so that he could talk me through it step by step.

It was sorted within a matter of minutes and I was on my way.

Thank you for such great support services and for fantastic resources. Lesson plans and resources are very thorough and easy to use. We love your Knowledge Organisers too! Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see the French KO's.

Kapow is amazing for music and computing. Easy to follow plans with clear LOs and success criteria. Key questioning and key vocab identified for each lesson and year group. Well structured lessons. Teacher videos to support teachers with subject knowledge. Easy to follow lesson slides to support with the delivery of the lesson. Great support documents for assessment and computing leaders i.e. curriculum and progression overviews. Pupil quiz for each unit that can be completed at the start and end of the unit to help document progress. They provide knowledge webs for each unit to support the children. It is easy to contact them and they respond to feedback promptly. They are always updating their content for the better to meet the needs of their clients. Kapow is the best thing that happened to our school for computing and music. It is fantastic!

Just signed up for Kapow for 4 subjects . The planning and lessons look great. Our teachers are really looking forward to starting using the schemes with their new classes in September.

Excellent

Our school loved the art provision so much that we purchased the computing resources for this academic year as well. Our staff have commented on how user-friendly the site and resources are - Kapow has bridged the gap in subject knowledge for those teachers who are not specialists in these areas.
After sending a query to the site, I was pleased to receive a quick, personalised response from the content team. We are looking forward to seeing the impact of the Kapow content and resources post-covid.

We have just recently started using Kapow this term. Staff are happy with the resources and any enquiries I have sent to Kapow have been answered and solved very promptly.

I was only recently introduced to Kapow and while I was aware of it I hadn't really spent the time to take an in-depth look at what it offers to both experienced music teachers and to teachers lacking in confidence in music delivery. I'm really impressed. The lesson plans are clear and easy to follow. At the start of each lesson the short teacher's video explains and reinforces basic information, how to explain the terminology and often how to teach it. The safe links are supplied, the slides are all set up to make life easy for the teacher.
As an experienced music teacher, (advisor, consultant and BA & PGCE music education lecturer) I cannot recommend Kapow's music programme highly enough.Our teachers already using Kapow music are enthusiastic and enjoying their music lessons, the children are motivated, engaged and learning about music in an active and focussed way. Well done Kapow!!

KAPOW has supported our school's journey in art and DT. We love the videos for the teachers and children. The range of artists, craft makers and designers is brilliant. My workload as subject lead is lighter. KAPOW supports non specilast teachers to deliver a full and creative curriculum. Thank you

Fantastic resources, especially for those not confident in teaching particular subjects. I wish Kapow would allow schools to use their videos to share with home learners (during closures) so that we could continue to teach the curriculum

As a class teacher new to year six this year , it has been fantastic to have Kapow’s computing scheme to ensure coverage of skills at an appropriate level for the children .

After contacting Kapow with some questions about the sessions, I heard back from the team quickly and was put in contact with the content developer for computing. Not only was I talked through each of the sessions but plans were updated and additional resources added to make the plans easier to follow. The discussion I had with the content developer greatly improved my knowledge of the subject and I now feel more confident to deliver these sessions to our students.

Thank you Kapow.

As a school we have been using KAPOW since the start of September 2020. The feedback from our teachers at the end of Autumn 1: 'The lesson plans are detailed. It is very easy to follow and the teacher videos helpful.' Many of our teachers have struggled before to deliver the Computing Curriculum.
As the Lead of Computing I have found the Essential Subject Materials extremely helpful .

Although we have only used the 7 day trials at present, we have been blown away by the resources for art and music! They provide a list of resources you will need, learning objectives, success criteria, teacher videos, pupil videos, everything you need for the lesson including key questions, differentiation AND assessment!
The best thing is that lessons are produced by experts in their field - so you know you can rely on it!
The only draw back is the pricing, which is based on school size, so when you are the specialist teacher who is the only one teaching that subject across the school it becomes expensive. We would consider buying it ourselves but our subject budget wouldn't cover it. Maybe a 'specialists membership' would be something to think of for the future!
Thank you Kapow for what we have been able to use so far!

Kapow is a brilliantly detailed website and the service is excellent. I highly recommend it for busy teachers!

I'm loving many of the the music, art and pshce ideas, but I'm finding geography can be a bit too much and a little advanced for my year 1s so are having to heavily adapt it.

A brilliant set of resources that are based on research and expert advice. The additional CPD throughout is a great bonus too.

Loving the variety of lessons for Wellbeing. My children have been really engaged and and enjoying the different materials. The Computing has been fabulous whilst looking at our long term planning and staff are finding the teacher toolkits a valuable resource.

Query was dealt with efficiently with personable, friendly customer service. I have full trust in Kapow, its staff, and its amazing product!
