How well does it match the curriculum?
Reasonably: It’s good enough for the money, but needs some additional resources
The resources could come better prepared.
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
Well written, inclusive planning
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Well: Pupils generally enjoy using it and tend to welcome doing so
Simple, fast paced lessons.
How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?
Well: We could (or do) use it for monitoring individual pupil progress
Simple assessments that are easy to do and keep track of pupil progress
How well does it support planning?
Brilliantly: It has everything you could need and is straightforward to use with classes
Perfect
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
Videos for home learning would have been useful
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
Slightly expensive
Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 10/11
