Review rating:

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

We've only just got this so may find there is more to it but has good objectives linked to the curriculum

 

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

0

As far as I can see its for whole classes

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Good topics

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

I've not looked at this yet

 

How well does it support planning?

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

Well detailed planning

 

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

We use other aspects of kapow so get a discount

 

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