Introducing a brand-new book from Purple Mash Publishing, written by Ivor Baddiel and Jonny Zucker: Brainchild! It's an exciting book for 10-15 year olds which explores the battle between good and evil, and the limits and ethics of medicine.

How a pioneering international school is using Purple Mash to unite two curricula and put learning at the heart of every lesson.

At Tenby Schools Penang, Purple Mash is doing more than supporting lessons, it’s helping unite two curricula under one shared approach to teaching and learning. With a 1:1 iPad programme in place, the focus isn’t on the technology itself, but on how it enables creativity, collaboration, and deeper thinking across both the international and national schools.

Rather than a rigid rollout, staff were given the freedom to explore the platform first and the result was immediate buy-in. Today, Purple Mash is embedded across different subjects and year groups, with pupils using it daily to plan, create, code, and communicate their ideas.

The impact? More connected teaching, more personalised learning, and a platform that supports the school’s wider mission to develop confident, curious learners.
