How well does it match the curriculum?

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

There’s lots on there. You need to filter it well

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

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

The masses are catered for.

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

They enjoyed it

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Badly: There isn’t any / enough formative assessment or what there is, isn’t very useful

How well does it support planning?

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

Great ideas to use

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

As long as you can screen shot and ship

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

We’ve found other resources better value, if you place value on that teachers prefer them and therefore used it! We fizzled off this fairly quickly

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 5/11
