Average rating across all CLPE reviews: 4.3/5

I love the range of books and suggested activities

How well does it match the curriculum?

Brilliantly: There is more content (eg support / extension activities) than we expected

We use it from Eyfs through to y6. The additional resources on website such as reading and writing scales are very good.

How well does it support your school’s inclusion/diversity/equal opportunities policy?

Brilliantly: The content stands out as being particularly positive in this regard and would be welcome in any school like mine

The books on the CLPE are regularly updated and reflect diversity of characters in the stories well

How well does it support differentiation for the full range of the classes you use it with?

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

Some suggestions for differentiation

How well does it engage and motivate pupils?

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

Particularly the eyfs resources - lots of suggestions for the continuous provision that are very exciting!

How well supported is it by accompanying formative assessments?

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

Reading and writing scales are useful

How well does it support planning?

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

Very easy to plan from (and make adaptations for year groups)

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

Very reasonable annual subscription
