It ticks all the boxes at my setting

How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

It is a good match to the curriculum we have

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

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

We do use supplementary resources too

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Children and staff enjoy using Discovery

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

Still need to find a manageable assessment system

How well does it support planning?

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

Staff find it very useful for planning

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

I think tit could be better

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

Good value

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