How well does it match the curriculum?

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

Good range of tasks

 

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

Pleased with the range of differentiation although could be through more varied ways rather than just bigger numbers

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Enjoy working through the stages and challenging themselves

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

Happy to do this myself though!

 

How well does it support planning?

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

Easy to resource

 

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

Although hope this won't be necessary!

 

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

Reasonably pricey but there is a lot of content

 

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