How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Easy to teach with

 

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

Reasonably: Essentially there’s enough for most pupils but there isn’t enough support / extension or challenge

Differentiation isn’t massively clear

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Pupils enjoy lessons

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Reasonably: There is some formative assessment included, but its usefulness is a bit limited

We do not use this so hard to comment

 

How well does it support planning?

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

Easy to follow

 

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

Easy to set home learning

 

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? 9/11
