Review rating:

Average rating across all SPAG.com reviews: 3.7/5

How well does it match the curriculum?

Brilliantly: There is more content (eg support / extension activities) than we expected

Many areas covered in a child friendly manner

 

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

Reasonably: It’s the support for LA

LA pupils struggle

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

More able pupils thrive

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

 

How well does it support planning?

Reasonably: Mostly we can use it without an unreasonable amount of effort or additional resource requirement

 

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

Brilliantly: We’d have very few reservations about using this extensively to support home learning

Pupils can work independently

 

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

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 9/11
