Varies between subjects

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

Well: Pupils generally enjoy using it and tend to welcome doing so

The children can’t wait to use it, both at school and at home

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

We didn’t get it for assessment purposes

How well does it support planning?

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

We don’t really need planning, as such, as we use another resource for this

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

Brilliantly: We’d have very few reservations about using this extensively to support home learning

Really effective during lockdown. Didn’t need a lot of parental input

How would you rate it for value for money compared to similar resources?
