Better for KS2 than ks1
How well does it match the curriculum?
Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected
Hard for KS1 to access independently
How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?
Reasonably: It's very much a middle ground snapshot
It's very much a middle ground snapshot
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Badly: Pupils don’t really enjoy using it
It is very samey
How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?
Well: We could (or do) use it for monitoring individual pupil progress
Great data overview
How well does it support planning?
Reasonably: Mostly we can use it without an unreasonable amount of effort or additional resource requirement
I know where my children are so it just proves that
How well does it support home use / independent learning?
Badly: It’s not really suitable for home use or independent learning
We only use it in school. If used at home data would be skewed by parent intervention
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
Reasonable price for what it is
Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 5/11
