How well does it match the curriculum?

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

There are usually relevant videos we can access

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

0

It would be good to look at how to support the less able a little more

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

They all like the videos which are short but snappy

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

Can't really comment on this

How well does it support planning?

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

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

We don't really use it 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

I will always recommend this to colleagues

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 10/11
