Great resource.

How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

It has good activities that will help consolidate understanding. It does not necessarily have more challenging activities.

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

Reasonably: Essentially there’s enough for most pupils but there isn’t enough support, extension or challenge

Could have a challenge extension activity added to the activity. Or have a challenge section for those more able children.

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

The children really enjoy these activities. They are just the right length too and are engaging enough for them.

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

I would use it as an additional resource, not necessarily formative assessment.

How well does it support planning?

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

It does help to compliment the curriculum well. It’s easy to access, but not always challenging enough.

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

The children love the activities as homework tasks and it is easy to assign from a teacher’s point of view.

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

Well worth the money. We use it all the time and the children love using it and seeing their progress in real time.

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 10/11
