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

Reasonably: Mostly we can use it without an unreasonable amount of effort or additional resource requirement
On a rolling programme so does
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
Very good features
