How well does it match the curriculum?
Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected
Suitable for a range of topics across the school
How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?
Well: A large majority of resources are suitably differentiated for pupils
Need to dip in to other resources
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Well: Pupils generally enjoy using it and tend to welcome doing so
kids love it plus home access
How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?
Reasonably: There is some formative assessment included, but its usefulness is a bit limited
Quite lengthy
How well does it support planning?
Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation
It is all there for teachers
How well does it support home use / independent learning?
Brilliantly: We’d have very few reservations about using this extensively to support home learning
Children use it widely at home
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
in line with similar resources
Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 9/11
