Average rating across all Education City reviews: 3.9/5

How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Clear activity sheets linking to the games available on the website.

 

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

Reasonably: Essentially there’s enough for most pupils but more support and extension for EAL would be useful

Unfortunately there is not enough differentiation - more extension activities and better support for EAL children

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Children love all of the different games - if there could be even more variety in the games they would love that!

 

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 do not use it for formative assessment

 

How well does it support planning?

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

I tend to dip in and out depending on my planning and the cohort in my year group that i am teaching at the time

 

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

Reasonably: It could be used at home or independently, but pupils would need some extra support or resources

I do not use it for home learning

 

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

I like the fact that many different subjects are available but do not always use them all

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 9/11
