Average rating across all La Jolie Ronde reviews: 4/5

How well does it match the curriculum?

Reasonably: It’s good enough for the money, but needs some additional resources

Resources are quite basic

 

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

Reasonably: There isn’t much differentiation

Needs more

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

Reasonably: We can’t use it too often or for too long

Fairly easy and simple

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Badly: There isn’t any / enough formative assessment or what there is, isn’t very useful

I’m not aware of any assessments

 

How well does it support planning?

Reasonably: Mostly we can use it without an unreasonable amount of effort or additional resource requirement

Lesson plans would be good

 

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

Reasonably: It could be used at home or independently, but pupils would need some extra support or resources

 

How would you rate it for value for money compared to similar resources?

Reasonably: It represents about the same value for money as similar resources I’ve seen

Provided by school

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 8/11
