Some good printable resources to reinforce learning.

 

How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Easy to navigate.

 

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

Well differentiated resources.

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Many pupils prefer onscreen learning now.

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Well: We could (or do) use it for monitoring individual pupil progress

Informative assessments

 

How well does it support planning?

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

There are a lot of resources and time consuming to look through.

 

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

Some login issues during lockdowns.

 

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

All online materials are very expensive.

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 8/11
