What others say...

‘As a new Art leader, Kapow has saved me hours of planning and has provided me with different perspectives on teaching. The wide variety of resources has ensured that a vast majority of skills and techniques are covered. Moreover, the lessons are differentiated which allows all teachers to challenge the students in the class. I and all teachers at Portway Primary School are grateful to Kapow for the hard work and dedication.’

Arina Narbuntiene

Art subject leader

We’ve been using the Kapow scheme for just over a year now. I’m a primary teacher and art curriculum co-ordinator (non-art specialist), and I can honestly say that using the scheme gave me the knowledge and confidence to sit and talk in-depth to the OFSTED inspector about the teaching and learning of Art in our school. Thank you!

Claire Bodiam, St Thomas Canterbury

We use Kapow Art and Design and I have been really impressed with how this resource supports our non-specialist teachers. The range and diversity of the resources are great!

Gemma Whiley, Chetwynd Spencer Academy

To have the Art and D&T curriculums so easily available to all staff has improved their subject knowledge, confidence and in turn has helped the children to achieve great results!

Rachelle, Christ the King Catholic Primary

We are using Kapow for D&T and Art which are the subjects we identified as the staff’s weakest. Kapow has been a godsend in supporting teacher knowledge. Children’s outcomes in both subjects are far higher now. Sketchbooks are looking great in particular.

EdTech Impact

Cath Waterworth, Langley Primary School

It has significantly cut down on time spent planning art lessons. It means I can use my time to experiment with the activities myself so I can teach them better.

EdTech Impact

Anna, HLTA, Heathfields Infant School

Great quality resources and CPD for all. Teachers love the CPD so they spend less time researching topics to help teach. Teacher CPD means that topics are taught more effectively and with higher-quality content. Since using Kapow, many staff members have become more confident in the Art and DT that they teach.
