How well does it match the curriculum?

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

Expensive and a little prescriptive

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

We don’t use for all. Just some

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Nice materials

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

Unsure as we don’t use for this

How well does it support planning?

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

But expensive

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

Well: Pupils could be expected to use this at home or independently, with a minimum amount of support or additional resources

As long as you purchase the whole package

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

No different from other schemes
