How well does it match the curriculum?
Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected
Could do with more on the composing side
How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?
Reasonably: Harmonies that are easy to teach
Always hard to find well-planned harmonies
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Well: Pupils generally enjoy using it and tend to welcome doing so
Good range of songs
How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?
Reasonably: There is some formative assessment included, but its usefulness is a bit limited
To be fair that’s a hard one to do with singing
How well does it support planning?
Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation
Easy to use
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
I’m It sure how engaging home use would be more
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
Good value
Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 7/11
