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

They really enjoy using it.

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

There are quizzes that give us overview of a child progress and areas they need to improve on.

How well does it support planning?

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

As there is full curriculum coverage, it helps guide is with our planning.

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

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

Not accessible at home.

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

I think it works well in my class.
