Computing is what 2Simple is most well known for, particularly Purple Mash. But those users who don't have Purple Mash always wonder what it has to offer... read Part 2 of this blog to find out how 2Simple can help you teach computing.

We were recently lucky enough to be invited to Sunnyfields, a lovely one form entry primary school in North London to see how the 2Simple Centre for Excellence school use Purple Mash across the curriculum. With their high usage across subject areas and outstanding teaching of computing, we knew this would be a great place to visit.

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.

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.
