Are you a Year 6 teacher with a class full of gamers? This year, when there is no Purple Mash Games Design competition, we are excited to signpost gamers in your classroom to BAFTA’s Young Game Design competition. BAFTA’s annual competition aims to inspire and support those who are passionate about games.

Each month we will be highlighting a #MashoftheMonth, this will focus on a tool or application and how it can be used within the classroom to support learning across the curriculum.

The Mash of the Month for February is Table Toons, as it's just had a fantastic upgrade! Table Toons helps children to learn their multiplication tables in a range of ways, including creating their own multiplication musical playlists and playing themed games.

We are thrilled to announce that Know my School (KMS) has won the Bett Award for Leadership and Management Solution! This incredible achievement highlights the impact KMS is having in schools, supporting leaders in self-evaluation, improvement planning, and policy management.
