How well does it match the curriculum?
Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected
It covers everything
How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?
Well: A large majority of resources are suitably differentiated for pupils
It’s hard to differentiate whole class in music
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so
Very engaging
How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?
Well: We could (or do) use it for monitoring individual pupil progress
Ongoing assessment
How well does it support planning?
Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation
Very well planned
How well does it support home use / independent learning?
Well: Pupils could be expected to use this at home or independently, with a minimum amount of support or additional resources
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
It’s well priced compared to others
Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 9/11
