All covered
How well does it match the curriculum?
Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected
The area for improvement is links to writing
How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?
Well: A large majority of resources are suitably differentiated for pupils
Pretty good
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Well: Pupils generally enjoy using it and tend to welcome doing so
Apart from identified gaps in diversity and inclusion topics
How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?
Reasonably: There is some formative assessment included, but its usefulness is a bit limited
Needs to be reviewed
How well does it support planning?
Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation
Apart from needing greater clarity in links to writing objectives
How well does it support home use / independent learning?
Badly: It’s not really suitable for home use or independent learning
This is an area for improvement in a post pandemic world
How would you rate it for value for money compared to similar resources?
Well: It’s worth the money and effort to introduce – more so than many similar resources I’ve seen
Access to training can be an issue
Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 8/11
