Fulfils an ambitious curriculum effortlessly

We use it across the school

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

They love accessing it at home

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

Fairly easy to use. Could do with self assessment

 

How well does it support planning?

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

All there for you

 

How well does it support home use / independent learning?

Brilliantly: We’d have very few reservations about using this extensively to support home learning

So easy to use

 

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

Brilliantly: It’s possibly the best value for money of any similar resources I’ve seen

Would use this time and time again

 

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