We’ve tried to answer commonly -asked questions below. If you can’t find the answer you need, please Contact Us and a member of our team will be in touch. If you have a question about a particular lesson, please tell us which subject, year and lesson you are querying.

To find out more about the inspiration for Kapow International, see our About page.

How long should I allow for a Kapow lesson?

Not every teacher will teach at the same pace, but this is the approximate time you should allow for each subject:

Subject Recommended teaching time
Art & design 1 hour

How do Kapow resources demonstrate diversity?

Our resources include diverse images, names and scenarios reflecting different backgrounds, genders, disabilities and challenging stereotypes. 

In Art and design, children learn about art and ethnically diverse artists across cultures and throughout history. Alternative artists to explore are also included in lesson content to enable teachers to take the learning further.

How do you ensure that Kapow resources are accessible to all learners?

Our curriculum resources are accessible in the following ways:

  • Differentiation suggestions and resources.
  • Customisable colour schemes in lesson presentations.
  • Varied teaching methods to engage different learning styles and needs.
  • Assessing progress and understanding support.

Can you give me a demo of the website?

We don’t have a sales team or offer demos, but we encourage you to sign up for a free trial and explore the site at your convenience. If you have any specific enquiries or questions please email them to [email protected]

What does a free trial include?

An individual teacher trial lasts 7 days, and a whole school trial lasts 14 days. You will have full access to all subjects on the website, including all of our lesson plans and other resources. You must add at least one teacher to a school free trial to see the website content. We limit downloads during free trials. Sign up here.

How much does Kapow cost?

The cost depends on the number of subjects you buy. The more subjects you choose to buy, the less each subject costs. School membership covers an unlimited number of users in your school. At present we only have one subject but we plan to expand our range in due course.

Can my colleagues have a free trial too?

Of course! In fact we very much encourage it. The more the merrier as far as we are concerned.

What does a Kapow membership include?

As a member, you will have full access to the schemes of work in the subjects you choose. You will have access to hundreds of lesson plans, videos and other teaching and classroom resources for twelve months.

How do I renew a Kapow International subscription?

The main school administrator for the account can renew via their dashboard.

Otherwise, please email [email protected], confirming the subjects you wish to renew.

Please also email [email protected] if you wish to try or add extra subjects when you renew or are interested in a multi-year subscription.

How long does a subscription last?

Kapow International subscriptions last for a minimum of one year, but we’d be happy to discuss multi-year terms if required. Please contact us at [email protected] with any questions about this.

How do I add sub-accounts or additional users?

The account administrator for your school account can create sub-accounts for each member of staff so they have their own logins.

If you cannot add someone, contact us immediately at [email protected] providing the email address of the person you need to add.

Can you download the teacher and learner videos?

The teacher and learner videos are for streaming only and cannot be downloaded.  If you want to collect the videos in one place to share with your colleagues, we suggest you share the links to the lesson pages instead.

Why can’t I download resources?

We limit downloads for users during a free trial.

 

Otherwise, if you cannot download a pdf or editable document, this is likely to be because some browsers’ security settings block downloads from sites that are not authorised. Once you have authorised the Kapow International website, you will then be able to download resources. You will be able to search online for help to unblock our resources for your particular browser.

 

Please note that it is not possible to download presentations or videos.

Can all the teachers at my school use Kapow at the same time?

To ensure that each teacher at your school can use Kapow International at the same time, each teacher should have their own login.

Membership of Kapow International comes with unlimited logins and downloads for every member of staff at your school.  Your school administrator for Kapow International can set up a login for new teachers, or alternatively email [email protected]

  • Click ‘Forgotten your password’ on the main login page. 
  • Add your email address and click reset 
  • Check your email for a new link to arrive. 

If you get stuck, contact us at [email protected]

Can I login at home?

Yes, you can use Kapow International anywhere you have access to the internet.

Are Kapow International lesson plans printable?

You can find printable Word and PDF versions of the lesson plans on the lesson pages. When you scroll down, a dark grey bar will appear at the top of the page. Click on the arrow pointing downward to download the plan. To avoid missing out on updated content, only print the lesson plans as close to the date of teaching the lesson as possible.  If you want to share the lesson with colleagues, share a link to the lesson instead to ensure they see the most recent version.

Can you download the teacher and learner videos?

The teacher and learner videos are for streaming only and cannot be downloaded.  If you want to collect the videos in one place to share with your colleagues, we suggest you share the links to the lesson pages instead.

Can I download and print off all the lessons in one go?

We discourage teachers from downloading lesson plans far in advance in case they miss out on updates.  We understand that many schools do expect teachers to upload plans to their systems, but suggest uploading links instead – many schools do this and embed links to Kapow International into their intranets.  In that way, teachers always have access to the most up-to-date versions and see the CPD videos.

Why can’t I download resources?

We limit downloads for users during a free trial.

 

Otherwise, if you cannot download a pdf or editable document, this is likely to be because some browsers’ security settings block downloads from sites that are not authorised. Once you have authorised the Kapow International website, you will then be able to download resources. You will be able to search online for help to unblock our resources for your particular browser.

 

Please note that it is not possible to download presentations or videos.

Why won’t the videos play?

We have found that a small number of schools’ security systems block our videos. If this happens, you need to ask your IT department to mark Kapow International and www.wistia.com as safe sites.

Do I get access to updates to your lessons during my subscription?

Yes!  We are constantly tweaking and improving our lessons, updating links, clarifying points and incorporating more CPD.  While you are a subscriber you can always access the latest version of a lesson online.  This is one reason why we recommend not printing lesson plans too far in advance – save links to the lessons instead.

Why won’t the links on my lesson plan work?

At the time of creating our resources, and periodically, we check all the links. Sometimes a third-party may remove certain content, so the links will no longer work. Please contact us at [email protected] to let us know which links aren’t working and which lesson you were looking at. We’ll get them updated for you.

How do I add sub-accounts or additional users?

The account administrator for your school account can create sub-accounts for each member of staff so they have their own logins.

If you cannot add someone, contact us immediately at [email protected] providing the email address of the person you need to add.
