On 16th May, Ofsted published their research review into the computing curriculum, to identify factors that can contribute to high-quality school computing curriculums, assessment, pedagogy and systems. 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.

Today, we start by looking at teacher technical and pedagogical content knowledge of computing, as well as the curriculum structure: called the pillars of progression within this report.

End-of-year reporting can be one of the most demanding tasks teachers face. With parents expecting detailed, personalised feedback and assessment deadlines looming, the pressure can feel relentless. Evidence Me by 2Simple is designed to take that pressure off, giving you powerful, easy-to-use reporting tools that turn your assessments into polished, shareable reports in just a few clicks.

We're celebrating National Pet Month from 1st April to 2nd May. It's all about raising awareness for pet welfare and spreading the word about responsible pet ownership. In this blog, as well as looking at some Purple Mash resources you can use during this time, we also meet some of the pets of 2Simple.

Find out about our tool Data Detectives - it's January's #MashoftheMonth! We share top tips for using it in class, and if you share how your class are using it then you'll be entered into a draw to win a 2Simple goody bag.

Save time and stress by using our Mash Club for your extra-curricular club. Mash Club is an after-school computing club aimed at KS2 students with three terms of 8 self-guided sessions, where your pupils will learn to code and blog.
