Review rating:

Average rating across all Geographical Association reviews: 4/5

Professionally planned and thoughtful resource

 

How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Meets all the requirements of the national curriculum

 

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

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

Good ideas for support and challenge

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Lessons are well thought through

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

Clear objectives make AFL simple

 

How well does it support planning?

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

Plans are provided and need only adapting to class contact, the local area study needs most resourcing but this is bound to happen

 

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 suggestions for this

 

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

Great value for money

 

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