How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Good for staff with less subject knowledge

 

How well does it support adaptation for different groups of pupils?

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

Little differentiation as not needed

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Good mix of resources

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

Fairly minimal.

 

How well does it support planning?

Well: It’s fairly self-contained and can be used with minimal preparation

Teachers like it

 

 

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

Good value

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 9/11
