How well does it match the curriculum?

Badly: There are many gaps in curriculum coverage

The reading assessment, you do not know how long it will take or the progress

 

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

0

Needs more early years activities

 

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

Reasonably: We can’t use it too often or for too long

They get bored

 

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

Maths is good

 

How well does it support planning?

Badly: It takes a lot of time or additional resources to use it in the classroom

Is hard to use to match planning

 

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

The children enjoy being able to use it

 

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

Ok

 

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 6/11
