How well does it match the curriculum?

Brilliantly: There is more content (eg support / extension activities) than we expected

Love the progression maps and leader docs

 

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

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

Suitable for supporting pupils with additional needs

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Our pupils love the lessons

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Reasonably: There is some formative assessment included, but its usefulness is a bit limited

We haven’t got to testing this fully yet

 

How well does it support planning?

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

My staff feel confident

 

 

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

Peace of mind that we’re covering curriculum

 

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