Average rating across all Charanga reviews: 4.1/5

The IT side of it is very easy to use. No skills needed really.

 

How well does it match the curriculum?

Brilliantly: There is more content (eg support / extension activities) than we expected

It’s really easy to use too.

 

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

Brilliantly: There is a wide enough range of resources to provide a good range of options for all pupils

It’s well differentiated.

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

The children live the popular music choices

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Well: We could (or do) use it for monitoring individual pupil progress

Easy to use assessment opportunities you can tell who can do what.

 

How well does it support planning?

Brilliantly: It has everything you could need and is straightforward to use with classes

It’s all there for you.

 

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

You can set things to do at home, but it’s not that easy.

 

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 not too expensive.

 

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