How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Good coverage but requires deepening.

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

Reasonably: Essentially there’s enough for most pupils but there isn’t enough support / extension or challenge

The deepening is not broad enough.

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

It works for individuals but isn’t capturing for all.

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Reasonably: There is some formative assessment included, but its usefulness is a bit limited

Not comprehensive

How well does it support planning?

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

Additional planning for lowers and highers often required.

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

Not cheap based on buying the books

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 6/11
