Review subject: Pupil Assessment

Phase: Primary

Reviewer: Ian, Headteacher

Reviewer’s school profile:

  • Independent school 513 pupils in Surrey

 

Review rating: 

Great application, which has added significantly to our core provision.

 

How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Great resource for the core subjects, with nuggets allowing pupils the opportunity to broaden their knowledge at the appropriate pace and level.

 

How well does it support your school’s inclusion/diversity/equal opportunities policy?

Well: The content is inclusive and sensitively presented

Lots of variety and examples of inclusivity, breaking down existing stereotypes.

 

How well does it support differentiation for the full range of the classes you use it with?

Brilliantly: There is a wide enough range of resources to provide a good range of options for all pupils

Love the fact that it is so intuitive and based on artificial intelligence in order to personalise the journey for each student.

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Needs some self-regulation, but very good for plugging gaps.

 

How well supported is it by accompanying formative assessments?

Brilliantly: We could (or do) use it for monitoring pupils or classes, for gap analysis or to inform intervention strategies

Lots of end of section opportunities to assess knowledge and recommend next steps.

 

How well does it support planning?

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

As an added extra to the core curriculum it supports breadth.

 

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

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

The personalised nature of the resource is its greatest strength.

 

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

Brilliantly: It’s possibly the best value for money of any similar resources I’ve seen.

We have a group discount, which makes this great value for money.
