Really good and neat and tidy resources

 

How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Not a scheme we follow but dip in and out for activities

 

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

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

Varied activities

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Week presented and fun

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

Unknown

 

How well does it support planning?

Reasonably: Mostly we can use it without an unreasonable amount of effort or additional resource requirement

Unknown as we don’t use it for this

 

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

Unknown as not used 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

Very good

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 9/11
