Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

It provides good content.

 

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

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

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so

It’s an excellent resource for motivating children.

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

Some good assessments.

 

How well does it support planning?

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

It supports our scheme of work.

 

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

We do t really use it for this.

 

How would you rate it for value for money compared to similar resources?

Well: It’s worth the money and effort to introduce – more so than many similar resources I’ve seen

For the content and ideas.

 

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