Kingsland only started using Purple Mash this school year (2018-19) and has already been recognised as a 2Simple School of Excellence. In fact, its worth noting that the school has a strong commitment to ICT in general: it has achieved the ICT Mark and is the Apple Regional Training Centre for Stoke.

Across the United Kingdom, 1 in 3 people have some form of hearing loss, whether that be that they are deaf, hard of hearing or experiencing tinnitus. Ultimately, there is a high chance that someone close to you has some form of hearing loss. This could be a family member, a friend, or a colleague. Despite this striking statistic, hearing loss often goes unacknowledged, leading to feelings of isolation for those affected. By becoming more aware this Deaf Awareness Week, we can all play a part in creating a more inclusive and accessible society, one where communication is clear and where support is readily available.

Recently, Purple Mash held a competition for students to design its first ever mascot. The winning designer came to the 2Simple office to meet our Graphic Designer and finalise the Mashcot's look... read our blog to meet the new Mashcot!

World Art Day is celebrated on 15th April, with the date being chosen to honour the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci. We have lots of fantastic resources inside Purple Mash to help celebrate art across your school on this day.
