How well does it match the curriculum?
Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected
Good for staff with less subject knowledge

Little differentiation as not needed
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Well: Pupils generally enjoy using it and tend to welcome doing so
Good mix of resources
How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?
Reasonably: There is some formative assessment included, but its usefulness is a bit limited
Fairly minimal.

Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation
Teachers like it
How would you rate it for value for money compared to similar resources?

Good value
