Average rating across all CLPE reviews: 4.2/5

How well does it match the curriculum?

Brilliantly: There is more content (eg support / extension activities) than we expected

Matches all national curriculum objectives

 

How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?

Brilliantly: There is a wide enough range of resources to provide a good range of options for all pupils

Clear differentiation is provided with activities

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so

Children love the books suggested for literacy lessons

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Reasonably: There is some formative assessment included, but its usefulness is a bit limited

Would be better if it had end of term assessments

 

How well does it support planning?

Brilliantly: It has everything you could need and is straightforward to use with classes

Plans provided to use or adapt

 

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

Reasonably: It could be used at home or independently, but pupils would need some extra support or resources

Activities are not meant for independent learning

 

How would you rate it for value for money compared to similar resources?

Brilliantly: It’s possibly the best value for money of any similar resources I’ve seen

Definitely worth the money

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 11/11
