Average rating across all White Rose reviews: 4.3/5

How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Well resourced and matches plans.

 

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

OK, but you do have to do a bit of work around this. We purchased something else to support.

 

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?

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

 

How well does it support planning?

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

A strength.

 

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

Badly: It’s not really suitable for home use or independent learning

 

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

 

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