A good resource to offer the children

 

How well does it match the curriculum?

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

It works well for older children groups

 

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

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

Works well with setting different homework for different children

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Easy to use and engaging

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

Gives some insight into a child's ability

 

How well does it support planning?

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

Can integrate it into homework plan

 

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

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

Just devices and logins needed

 

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

Value for money per head

 

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