A great product

How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

It contains a range of activities aligned to the Welsh ICT and DCF curriculum that are easy to access

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

Well: A large majority of resources are suitably differentiated for pupils

Nothing really needed - it does what it needs to. It has levels to help differentiate activities but as a teacher you can vary input

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

When using in a lesson the pupils are engaged and like to explore on their own. Particularly as it gives so much choice

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

We don’t tend to use it for this

How well does it support planning?

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

It fits well and is easy to copy into and reference within our mid term planning and short term planning

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 used it in lockdown heavily

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 is good value for money and we have renewed our subscription several times as we feel it is value for money

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