Blog

The experiences of Covid-19 inspired dramatherapist, Talya Bruck, to publish a series of stories for children. Here is how she did it, and why!

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.

On the final day of our 4 part series, we examine pedagogy and assessment.

Schools looking to buy schemes of work for their school often ask the question, How does it support children with SEN? We've ensured that Purple Mash not only supports pupils with SEN but empowers them and gives them the tools they need to succeed in computing as well as other areas of the curriculum.

It's that time of year when children in all year groups will be practicing and revising their key skills, ready for SATs, the Multiplication Tables Check or end of year assessments.  We've got lots of resources on Purple Mash to help with the key skills across reading, writing, SPaG and maths.
