We use it along with other assessments
How well does it support planning?
Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation
It has made planning easier
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
Not all students will engage with it
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
Reasonably priced
