Some improvements needed
How well does it match the curriculum?
Reasonably: It’s good enough for the money, but needs some additional resources
Good in terms of resources but the print making unit was a nightmare as it didn't work despite put heading the recommended resources and following all the instructions.
How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?
Reasonably: There is some differentiation
Overall pretty good but no better than what I could plan myself
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Reasonably: We can’t use it too often or for too long
Videos are good starting points
How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?
Reasonably: There is some formative assessment included, but its usefulness is a bit limited
But lack of online recording
How well does it support planning?
Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation
Everything is well planned
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
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
Could be better
Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 8/11
