How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Interesting and engaging

 

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

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

It does stretch the more able

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

It is interesting and engaging

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

We use it along with other assessments

 

How well does it support planning?

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

It has made planning easier

 

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

Not all students will engage with 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

Reasonably priced

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 8/11
