How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Matched well and small steps evident

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

I don’t like the fact that it isn’t very tailored

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

No issues but could be more exciting

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

Could be better

How well does it support planning?

Brilliantly: It has everything you could need and is straightforward to use with classes

Easy to pick up and go

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

Could have home guides to accompany

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

Quite expensive for a small school

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 5/11
