How well does it match the curriculum?

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

Broadly matches main objectives but style and methods often differ

 

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

0

Difficult to meet needs of all learners

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Pupils are engaged and enjoyed using during lockdown

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

Badly: There isn’t any / enough formative assessment or what there is, isn’t very useful

We are not looking for data from this

 

How well does it support planning?

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

Again this is a supplementary resource

 

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

Pupils used and engaged well during home learning

 

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

competitively priced

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 7/11
