Good - for what it is.
How well does it match the curriculum?
Reasonably: It’s good enough for the money, but needs some additional resources
Inconsistent coverage
How well does it support your school’s inclusion/diversity/equal opportunities policy?
Well: The content is inclusive and sensitively presented
Some good resources
How well does it support differentiation for the full range of the classes you use it with?
Varies between subjects
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Well: Pupils generally enjoy using it and tend to welcome doing so
The children can’t wait to use it, both at school and at home
How well does it support planning?
Reasonably: Mostly we can use it without an unreasonable amount of effort or additional resource requirement
We don’t really need planning, as such, as we use another resource for this
How well does it support home use / independent learning?
Brilliantly: We’d have very few reservations about using this extensively to support home learning
Really effective during lockdown. Didn’t need a lot of parental input
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
About what you’d expect, compared to similar products
