Find out all about our Purple Mash Roadshow events, designed to boost your primary computing teaching with hands-on CPD, practical classroom ideas, and expert guidance. Discover tools, connect with educators, and explore the latest innovations in a supportive, collaborative setting.

On 16th May, Ofsted published their research review into the computing curriculum, aiming to 'identify factors that can contribute to a high-quality computing teaching and learning and including factors such as the curriculum itself, pedagogy, assessment and systems in place'. We've taken a close look at the report and identified how Purple Mash meets each of those factors, and throughout this week we're posting a series of blog posts outlining exactly how it does this. Each daily blog will cover 2-3 of the factors in depth, looking at what the report says and highlighting where Purple Mash supports them.

For day 3 of our series, we look at computational thinking and problem solving, information technology, and digital literacy.
