“Kapow has reduced workload and children enjoy the lessons. Thank you!”
Lorraine Cartledge
“You have revolutionised our music curriculum at our school. Thank you :)”
Amy ShawMoorlands Junior School
“Thank you for all of your hard work. It has really brought our Music curriculum to life. People actually teach it now rather than leaving it as the lesson that always got dropped. I have even seen music displays and videos shared on social media.”
Laura GibbardRidgeway Farm CE Academy
“Our staff love the lessons and the teacher videos.”
Jennie Harper
“The lessons are engaging and well-planned. There are a lot of opportunities for cross-curricular links. Website is easy to navigate and search function provides accurate and relevant results. Videos of a class setting help to provide examples of how to teach skills in lessons.”
Kendra Stevens
“There is clear progression, clear learning objectives and good coverage of all aspects of the music curriculum. Just sometimes need to adapt how to deliver the lesson. Very clear explanations and modelling.”
