Review rating:

Average rating across all Discovery Espresso reviews: 3.7/5

How well does it match the curriculum?

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

Super short clips covering world religions in RE. Interesting clips for science.

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

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

The videos are good, enabling teachers to draw out whatever is needed for most groups. I think there is a wide range and children enjoy videos and videos nagged well.

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so

Works well for visual learners of today. Nice graphics, colourful videos. Children enjoy their learning.

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

Not sure, I’ve mostly used the videos and clips to enhance learning and engage children.

How well does it support planning?

Brilliantly: It has everything you could need and is straightforward to use with classes

Can be used as a starting point to introduce topics. Could be used as a recap and reinforce learning.

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

Haven’t done so

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

Brilliantly: It’s possibly the best value for money of any similar resources I’ve seen

I think it’s good - but depends on individual schools and what they already have. As with anything else lower price

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