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.

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?

All online materials are very expensive.
