Review rating:

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

How well does it match the curriculum?

Reasonably: It’s good enough for the money, but needs some additional resources

Works well for y6 as prepares for test but additional resources would be great

 

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

Reasonably: Essentially there’s enough for most pupils but there isn’t enough support / extension or challenge

Coloured backgrounds for those with light sensitivity would improve

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Brilliantly: We could (or do) use it for monitoring pupils or classes, for gap analysis or to inform intervention strategies

 

How well does it support planning?

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

 

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

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

 

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? 8/11
