I really like it and am glad we have have it in our school

How well does it match the curriculum?

Brilliantly: There is more content (eg support / extension activities) than we expected

Really impressed with the questions and how they can test the children's reasoning

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

Lots of learning that can help challenge our HA as well as support our LA

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so

My class love it so much! They love the challenge and are always excited when I put it on

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

Great to see what the children are struggling with and how we can support

How well does it support planning?

Brilliantly: It has everything you could need and is straightforward to use with classes

Well labelled and can support learning for the week

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

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

Can use at home if needed

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

I think it is really great and well worth it!
