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 day 2 of our series, we examine declarative and procedural knowledge, as well as computer science.

We are celebrating the work of the NHS and the dedication and hard work of all. One of the first pioneers of Nursing was Florence Nightingale who was born on the 12th May 1820, on the 200th anniversary of her birth, the work Florence Nightingale did resonates with us now more than ever. Florences ideas and actions changed nursing forever. In honour and in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the new hospital built in London was named the Nightingale Hospital. Florence made people realise that nursing is an important job and that hospitals needed to be clean to save lives.  These ideas still save peoples lives today. She was the first woman nurse and first woman to earn the order of merit in 1910
