Average rating across all CLPE reviews: 4.2/5

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
