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

Lots of variety in music types

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

There could be but my school doesn’t use them

How well does it support planning?

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

As above

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

Never used it for this though

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

Easy to use
