How well does it match the curriculum?

Well: It covers the curriculum as well as we expected

Lots of relevant content, easy to navigate the website, however, sometimes resources can be unoriginal

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

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

It would be helpful if the resources contained more original content and there were extensions available

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Resources need to be more far reaching, they should be able to cover all abilities BNE, NE, ANE to enable flexibility in teaching

How well supported is it by any included formative assessments?

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

How well does it support planning?

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

Helps with the structure of the topic. Resources could be more original to encourage extension of the subject

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

Links to further resources, better explanation require if the subjects are to be researched further at home

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

Having benchmarked the cost of this against other products it is competitively priced and good value for money

Would you recommend it to a colleague in a similar school to yours? 8/11
