Not pretentious unlike DATA and does not assume we are all DT specialists who have 6 hours a week to teach it
How well does it match the curriculum?
Brilliantly: There is more content (eg support / extension activities) than we expected
Great progression that covers all aspects of the ks1 and ks2 curriculum and more
How well does it support your school’s inclusion/diversity/equal opportunities policy?
Well: The content is inclusive and sensitively presented
Ideas on differentiation. But not so much on diversity unless you consider the freedom of it and the research
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
All can access
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Well: Pupils generally enjoy using it and tend to welcome doing so
Children like the videos and look forward to the lessons
How well does it support planning?
Brilliantly: It has everything you could need and is straightforward to use with classes
Straightforward: often leave it for cover
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
Great. Cheaper and more user friendly than DATA
