A well thought out resource that meets most of our school needs in music

How well does it match the curriculum?

Reasonably: It’s good enough for the money, but needs some additional resources

We feel the programme doesn’t match the curriculum but there are a few key elements missing

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

Brilliantly: The content stands out as being particularly positive in this regard and would be welcome in any school like mine

Really good cultural representation

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

Well: A large majority of resources are suitably differentiated for pupils

The option to differentiate is there but some elements we don’t feel it is well differentiated

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

All pupils enjoy the activities

How well supported is it by accompanying formative assessments?

Reasonably: There is some formative assessment included, but its usefulness is a bit limited

We haven’t fully used the assessment option

How well does it support planning?

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

Great planning resource

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

Reasonably: It could be used at home or independently, but pupils would need some extra support or resources

We don’t use this feature

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

Well: It’s worth the money and effort to introduce – more so than many similar resources I’ve seen
