There is nothing else available that is comparable to the quality of learning resources that Kapow provides. Wish you did secondary because the secondary resources we buy are not as good as Kapow!
Lisa Crompton found Kapow Primary:
- Improves teacher knowledge“As we have a teacher who is from mainstream Primary and only taught juniors, it has been so useful for her to be able to access resources for her lower learners.”
- Reduces teacher workload“All resources are prepared for you and are of excellent quality. They also include teacher videos! So you can quickly play one of these and be up to speed on all subjects.”
- Builds student knowledge“The content of the lessons is exceptional. Learning is varied to help support all learners to be successful. Links to NC mean that you are always confident that learning is being matched to their age.”
- Improves teaching efficiency“As I said before, the resources and the videos mean that everything is done for you.”

I think some subject areas are better than others. It is very good and breaks things down. The Geography is excellent and what we have used of wellbeing has been good too but I have found the History to be lacking. The topics in History are not always as exciting and the build up of skills and knowledge as well as the range and creativity of activities are not as good as the Geography we use. It would also be good to be able to save changes you make to the slides to your account especially if you share teaching as there is not always time to do this just before teaching.
Emma Berg found Kapow Primary:
- Improves teacher knowledge“Knowledge of how to teach difficult skills, especially in Geography it helped me to see how to model and break down map drawing for my Year 1s.”
- Reduces teacher workload“Ready made planning and resources with some lovely visuals.”
- Builds student knowledge“Especially the Geography, really breaks down and builds skills and knowledge e.g. my Year 1s are confident now in naming human and physical features due to weekly repetition in different contexts across our China unit.”
- Improves teaching efficiency

Kapow has given the teachers more confidence to tackle subjects which perhaps aren't their strength but have now become one due to the support and range of activities included.

Easy to use, everything you need is there. The resources list is very useful - the business manager and I wrote a list from this of all the resources we need to fund which enabled her to budget for next year. We love the videos and the fact the plans are all there!

Mrs Samantha Stacey found Kapow Primary:

It has been great so far but it is too early for us to see a long term impact.
Clare Roberts found Kapow Primary:
- Improves teacher knowledge“I have been teaching Ancient Maya in the Year 4 history curriculum which is something I haven't taught before. The pre-teaching information is very useful.”

- Improves attainment“As before, it is difficult to say yet as we are early in our use of Kapow.”
Dec 2024
We have reduced the number of subjects we use, as some were too difficult to follow e.g. 3 course meal for Y6. Need to be selective, trial and use the subjects that work for staff/pupils.
