How well does it match the curriculum?
Brilliantly: There is more content (eg support / extension activities) than we expected
Range of catch up activities and support
How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?
Well: A large majority of resources are suitably differentiated for pupils
Catch up sessions for those that fall behind
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so
Good structure so predictable
How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?
Well: We could (or do) use it for monitoring individual pupil progress
Assessment for each half term
How well does it support planning?
Brilliantly: It has everything you could need and is straightforward to use with classes
Everything you need
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?
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
