How well does it match the curriculum?

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

Prepares well for SATs

 

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

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

Solid knowledge

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Pupils engage well and love learning

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Well: We could (or do) use it for monitoring individual pupil progress

Great for tracking pupil progress

 

How well does it support planning?

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

Good to have long term overview

 

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

This could be improved

 

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

Price is competitive

 

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