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
