Reasonably: Differentiation is setMore by the teacher

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

Reasonably: We can’t use it too often or for too long

Lots of ideas

 

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 tend to formulate our own

 

How well does it support planning?

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

Keeps our curriculum fresh

 

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

Helped us over lockdown

 

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

Reasonably: It represents about the same value for money as similar resources I’ve seen

It’s ok

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 8/11
