Reasonably: It’s good enough for the money, but needs some additional resources

Similar depth in questions and links to SATs

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

Always at least 3 levels of differentiation

Similar type of responses required. Creativity and variety left to teacher

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

Assessment tasks available.

How well does it support planning?

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

Provides a basis for planning but need to edit to for needs of class and school

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

Materials provided

How would you rate it for value for money compared to similar resources?

Reasonably: It represents about the same value for money as similar resources I’ve seen

Good as one of several resources to dip into.
