Deputy Headteacher

Nothing is perfect and it always needs reflection and tailoring to your pupils. Quite a lot of worksheets - not all needed as children could respond in their books - some teachers will just use as is where as others will have a more independent expectation of their learners.

Vicki Shepherd found Kapow Primary:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    All key resources with good quality appropriate plinks are there so no need to search them out. Lessons are well focussed on the curriculum requirements to build understanding and retain knowledge.
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency
    Helps sty on track through the lesson to achieve the outcome. Stops people drifting off on tangents they like / enjoy but aren't required to meet the curriculum requirements.
  • Moderately improves teacher knowledge
    Teacher videos for back ground knowledge are very useful for areas where teachers feel less confident in their own knowledge - particularly in primary where teachers are expected to deliver all curriculum areas.
  • Significantly improves attainment
    Impressed by knowledge retention of Y6 class after the geography unit - not just in completing the multiple choice sections but also in responding to more open written questions to assess understanding.
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    Retention is apparent after the learning for more pupils.
