How well does it match the curriculum?
Brilliantly: There is more content (eg support / extension activities) than we expected
So many resources and ideas for using them with the class
How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?
0
support or challenge is more through expectations
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so
My class love using this resource
How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?
Badly: There isn’t any / enough formative assessment or what there is, isn’t very useful
I don't think I have found any
How well does it support planning?
Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation
Good links to curriculum areas
How well does it support home use / independent learning?
Well: Pupils could be expected to use this at home or independently, with a minimum amount of support or additional resources
I used it during lock down for some science and computing activities
How would you rate it for value for money compared to similar resources?
Brilliantly: It’s possibly the best value for money of any similar resources I’ve seen
I don't know how much we pay for it but we use it a lot
Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 11/11
