Average rating across all Charanga reviews: 4.1/5

It's very repetitive.

 

How well does it match the curriculum?

Reasonably: It’s good enough for the money, but needs some additional resources

It doesn't go into much detail. Little progression

 

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

Reasonably: Content is very similar between year groups.

Content is very similar between the year groups

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

Well: Pupils generally enjoy using it and tend to welcome doing so

It's a little too young in places.

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Badly: There isn’t any / enough formative assessment or what there is, isn’t very useful

 

How well does it support planning?

Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation

 

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

I've not tried so not sure

 

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

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 6/11
