I like the free elements

How well does it match the curriculum?

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

It’s good for providing challenge and mastery based tasks. It’s not so good for basic skills learning.

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

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

It’s particularly good at challenging more able.

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

There’s a good range of choice of activities

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

They’re not as relevant towards sats testing as others

How well does it support planning?

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

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

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

There’s a lot of adult support needed so not really appropriate

How would you rate it for value for money compared to similar resources?

Reasonably: It represents about the same value for money as similar resources I’ve seen

There are lots of free resources

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 10/11
