Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so
Resources are very good
How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?
Well: We could (or do) use it for monitoring individual pupil progress
Although we don’t use them, they look good

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

Well priced
