All evaluations are carried out within the classroom
context over the period of 8 weeks and provide in-depth
pedagogical feedback on your product. This study results
in an extensive written report.
Schoolzone evaluations are fully independent, but
no evaluation will be published without your authorisation.
Once this is received Schoolzone evaluations will be
promoted as set out in the marketing package.
Schoolzone evaluators are fully trained subject and
key stage specialists – profiled to match your

All evaluations link to a point of sale on the publisher’s
web site and we report to you on click though rates.
