How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

It is excellent for greater depth standard within the curriculum.

 

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

Well: A large majority of resources are suitably differentiated for pupils

Full range of resources for differentiated classrooms.

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

High quality resources

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

 

How well does it support planning?

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

Well matched to the curriculum

 

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

Resources could be adapted for this

 

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

Paid for personally, so highly valued

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 8/11
