How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Very interactive and full of ideas, easy to navigate, matches what we need in all aspects. Nice graphics, children like it.

How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?

Well: A large majority of resources are suitably differentiated for pupils

Is accessible for all children at all levels. The use of pictures and communication style icons mean that children with less language can access it easily.

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Children want to use and interact with this resource to research and develop understanding. It is embedded across the school at all levels.

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

This is an area to develop and extend for our school. We need to focus on this area in the coming years.

How well does it support planning?

Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation

Nice and interactive, easy to dip in and out. The use of the extensive planning means we can adapt easily

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

Easy

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

We feel it is about correctly priced. I feel that the deal we have means it is very good value for money.

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 7/11
