How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so
The children love it
How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?
Reasonably: There is some formative assessment included, but its usefulness is a bit limited
We don’t use these
How well does it support planning?
Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation
Planning is easy with 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
It was great in lockdown
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
Lots of activities
Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 10/11
