How well does it match the curriculum?
Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected
The Children are very engaged. It is enjoyed by the teachers as well - keeps lively. It is also good for teacher workload as all done for you.
How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?
Well: A large majority of resources are suitably differentiated for pupils
At the moment there is nothing, in my view, that could be changed. All children can access the work and resources
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so
All the children in my class enjoy the resource and engage very well with all the lessons every time we do it
How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?
Well: We could (or do) use it for monitoring individual pupil progress
We do not use the assessment
How well does it support planning?
Brilliantly: It has everything you could need and is straightforward to use with classes
All the planning is done for teachers and the videos that goes alongside is very useful and informative
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
At the moment I believe that no improvements needs to be done as it is very adaptable and useful in terms of workload
Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 8/11
