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

It’s very engaging

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

Our assessment is changing so it doesn’t quite align with our system.

How well does it support planning?

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

It is well planned and very little changes are needed because it is whole class

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

We haven’t quite set this up as yet

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

It’s fairly priced

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