How well does it match the curriculum?

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

Covers all main objectives in a fun and easy to use way. The only thing is a lack of different activities for each year group

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

Brilliantly: There is a wide enough range of resources to provide a good range of options for all pupils

Possibly needs more differentiated worksheets for some areas. However, it is easy to adapt where necessary

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

The videos and activities are engaging and this allows the children to get excited about the tasks and work.

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Brilliantly: We could (or do) use it for monitoring pupils or classes, for gap analysis or to inform intervention strategies

We don’t use this area

How well does it support planning?

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

Easy to use. Pick up and go and easy to follow. It’s also very easy to use for ICT

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

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