How well does it match the curriculum?
Brilliantly: There is more content (eg support / extension activities) than we expected
Clear lesson sequence
How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?
Brilliantly: There is a wide enough range of resources to provide a good range of options for all pupils
Range of tasks provided
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so
Good open questions to discuss
How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?
Reasonably: There is some formative assessment included, but its usefulness is a bit limited
Just has moments for reflection
How well does it support planning?
Brilliantly: It has everything you could need and is straightforward to use with classes
Clear lesson sequence to then create into plans
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
Topics involve a lot of research so can be done at home
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 cost effective
Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 11/11
